Summary - 53 GLOUCESTER AVENUE SHINFIELD READING RG2 9GA
5 bed 4 bath Detached
High‑spec five-bed family home with garage extension planning approved.
Five bedrooms across three floors with flexible living zones
An immaculate, newly renovated five-bedroom detached home on a corner plot in Shinfield, offered freehold. Finished to a high contemporary standard, the house provides flexible living across three floors with generous reception rooms, bi-fold doors to a low‑maintenance landscaped garden, and a principal suite with dressing area and en‑suite. Practical extras include an EV charging point, detached single garage and driveway parking.
The layout suits a family seeking space and adaptable rooms: a ground‑floor office/playroom (currently used as a salon), large living area with bi-fold doors, kitchen/breakfast room, and four bathrooms plus a ground-floor WC. The second-floor bedrooms and bathroom create a self-contained zone ideal for teenagers or guests. Planning approval to extend the garage gives clear scope to increase footprint or storage.
Location strengths are clear: very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, easy access to M4/J11 and nearby rail stations, plus a range of well-rated primary schools. Drawbacks to note: the plot and front garden are small-to-average for a detached house of this size, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Buyers should also be aware the property was reconfigured from six bedrooms to five during refurbishment, which may limit some layout preferences.
