Set just yards from Maiden Erlegh Lake and the nature reserve, this three‑bedroom detached house offers a strong family location within Aldryngton and Maiden Erlegh school catchments and Kendrick School priority area. The plot is generous (approx. 60ft x 40ft) with a full‑width patio, lawn, pergola and garage with driveway parking — rare for the area and useful for growing families.
The house is a mid‑20th century Gough Cooper build with mostly double glazing and gas central heating. Interiors include a living room, separate dining room, kitchen, study, downstairs cloakroom and a family bathroom upstairs. Many neighbouring houses of this style have been extended, so similar extension potential may exist here, subject to planning and building regulations.
There are practical points to note: some areas require maintenance and the property has original features and textured ceilings that may not suit all buyers. Services and appliances are untested and the single family bathroom could be limiting for larger households. Council tax is above average for the area. No onward chain and freehold tenure make for a straightforward purchase route.
This home will suit buyers seeking a family base in a very low‑crime, affluent neighbourhood with excellent broadband and mobile coverage, strong school options, and easy access to Reading, the M4 and nearby rail connections. For those wanting to add value, the plot and layout offer refurbishment and extension potential subject to necessary consents.
