Summary - 52 KENTWOOD HILL TILEHURST READING RG31 6DE
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Five bedrooms across 2,472 sq ft of versatile living space
A rare period cottage in the heart of Tilehurst Village, this five-bedroom detached home combines original character with generous, versatile living across 2,472 sq ft. Exposed beams, cast-iron fireplaces and a mix of period features give the house a warm, lived-in feel while the stylish kitchen/dining room and snug create comfortable everyday spaces for family life.
Set on a large plot with landscaped front and rear gardens, the property includes two useful outbuildings (one ideal as a home office), gated side access and private driveway parking. French/UPVC doors open the principal living spaces onto patio seating and lawn, delivering an easy indoor–outdoor flow for entertaining and children’s play.
Practical strengths include double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas boiler with radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for working from home. Tilehurst station is an approximate 15-minute walk away, and local schools and village amenities are within easy reach, making this well suited to growing families.
Important considerations: the house is over 200 years old and has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation, so heating costs and future insulation works should be factored in. Council tax is above average (Band E). While well presented, older structural elements and period finishes mean routine maintenance and sympathetic updating may be required over time.
