Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this recently updated four-bedroom detached home suits a growing family seeking ready-to-move-in accommodation with scope to adapt. The ground floor offers a spacious living room and a modern open-plan kitchen/dining area with Karndean flooring, fitted appliances and a walk-in larder. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal with a stylish en-suite and a contemporary family bathroom.
Practical features include an integral garage, ample driveway parking, a generous private rear garden and gas central heating. Approved planning permission is already in place to convert the garage and add an additional front room, offering straightforward ways to increase living space (works subject to the approved plans). The property is freehold, has no flood risk and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — handy for commuters and home workers.
Be aware of a few material points: the property is Council Tax Band E (above-average running costs) and the UPVC double glazing dates from before 2002, which some buyers may want to upgrade in time. The garage is average-sized and has planning to be converted, which would remove secure vehicle storage unless replaced. EPC rating C reflects reasonable thermal performance but not the highest efficiency.
Overall this is a well-presented family home in a convenient Reading location, offering immediate comfort with clear potential to enlarge living space under approved permission. It will suit families wanting good transport links and nearby schools, or buyers looking for a straightforward improvement project that adds value.
