A substantial five-bedroom detached house set on a large plot in Tilehurst, close to Prospect Park and well-regarded schools. The ground floor offers flexible family living: a triple-aspect living room, separate dining room, a generous kitchen/dining space and a self-contained annexe with wet room and utility. The principal bedroom has an en-suite and balcony with views; a second balcony serves bedroom two. There are three shower/bath rooms in total and plenty of storage.
Outside, the home sits behind a wide block-paved driveway with parking for multiple cars and an integral double garage. The rear garden is extensive and landscaped, with mature borders, a greenhouse and summerhouse—ideal for families who need outdoor space or anyone seeking scope to create additional living areas. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working.
The property is structurally conventional (1950s–1960s cavity wall construction, pitched roof with loft insulation, double glazing). It already benefits from several refitted wet areas and low-energy lighting, but some buyers may wish to update or modernise parts of the house to current standards. There is clear potential to extend or adapt the accommodation subject to planning permission: previous applications on the site may aid early enquiries.
Practical points: tenure is freehold, flood risk is low, and mains gas central heating serves radiator systems. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the surrounding area shows mixed indicators for deprivation — factors to consider for long-term running costs and resale. Overall this is a roomy, versatile family home in a desirable Tilehurst location with genuine scope to personalise and expand.
