This three-bedroom semi-detached house on a corner plot offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase close to excellent local schools — notably Birch Copse Primary. The layout is traditional and practical: a living room with French doors to the garden, separate dining room with bay window, fitted kitchen with side access, three bedrooms upstairs, a family shower room and separate WC.
The property is well placed for Tilehurst village amenities, local buses and mainline rail links into Reading and London, making it a sensible choice for first-time buyers seeking convenience and schooling. A garage, driveway and an enclosed rear garden with decking add usable outdoor and parking space on a decent-sized plot.
While presented smartly in places, the house dates from the mid-20th century and offers clear potential to improve energy efficiency and modernise finishes. The cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and some updating may be needed to heating or electrics as part of longer-term running-cost improvements. Buyers should factor renovation and insulation work into their budget.
This is a practical starter home with good schooling and transport links, sold with no onward chain. It will particularly suit buyers looking to add value through sensible, staged improvements rather than move-in perfection.
