Summary - Balmore Drive, Caversham, Reading RG4 8NN
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious 1930s semi with 100ft secluded garden and workshop, close to Caversham centre..
Four double first-floor bedrooms and two bathrooms
A substantial 1930s Haddock-built semi-detached family home on Balmore Drive, offering four first-floor bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous reception space. The property’s period features — bay windows, stained glass leadlight and picture rails — combine with practical living: separate living and dining rooms, extended kitchen/breakfast room, utility and conservatory. A brick-built pitched-roof workshop/garage adds flexible storage or hobby space.
The standout external asset is the established, secluded rear garden of around 100ft with mature planting and patio areas — rare for this location and ideal for family play, gardening or subject to extension planning. Off-street parking and a paved driveway provide convenience while residents benefit from a private-road tennis court and picnic area.
This house will appeal to families seeking space close to Caversham centre and good schools, with Reading station within easy reach. The accommodation is large and adaptable but shows scope for sympathetic modernisation in parts: updates to kitchen, bathrooms or finishes would allow a buyer to tailor the house to contemporary tastes and add value.
Practical points to note: the property is Freehold and offered chain-free, but council tax is in Band F (expensive). There is an annual private road contribution of £255. The home’s period character and size are strengths; buyers should expect typical maintenance and possible upgrading associated with a house of this age and scale.
