Set on a generous plot in sought-after Calcot, this semi-detached family home offers practical living across two floors. Four double bedrooms, a large master and a well-lit kitchen make daily life comfortable, while two reception rooms with timber floors open onto a secluded rear garden — ideal for children and weekend entertaining.
The property includes modern conveniences that reduce running costs: roof-mounted solar panels and a front EV charging point. A single garage plus a wide driveway provide secure parking and storage. Local schools rated Good are within easy reach, and public transport links and nearby amenities make weekday routines straightforward.
There are some important considerations to note. The house is a mid-20th-century system-built construction with assumed lack of wall insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002 — both factors that may affect energy efficiency. There is only one full bathroom on the first floor, which could be limiting for a four-bedroom household.
The area has above-average crime statistics and is classified as relatively deprived, so buyers should assess local services and security needs. Overall, this property suits families or first-time buyers seeking outdoor space, parking and solar savings, and who are prepared to improve energy performance and update certain elements over time.
