Summary - Aldworth Road, Upper Basildon, Reading, Berkshire, RG8 RG8 8NG
3 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Large plot and double garage with real potential for extension and modernisation.
Generous private plot with mature front and rear gardens
Double garage and driveway providing extensive off‑street parking
Three bedrooms, two bathrooms arranged all on one level
No onward chain — available for relatively quick completion
Potential to extend or redevelop, subject to planning consent
EPC rating E; energy improvements likely needed
Oil central heating and pre‑2002 double glazing — efficiency concerns
Cavity walls as built with no added insulation assumed
Set on a generous plot in Upper Basildon, this detached mid‑century bungalow offers comfortable single‑storey living and immediate move‑in potential. The layout includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open plan sitting/dining room, ideal for downsizers who value ease of living and level access throughout. There is no onward chain, so a quick completion is possible.
The property’s biggest asset is its plot: mature front and rear gardens, established screening and a double garage create scope to extend or redevelop into a larger family home, subject to planning consent. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working or hybrid lifestyles; the village setting benefits from very low crime and easy access to local schools and Pangbourne’s amenities.
Buyers should note the home’s mid‑20th century construction and existing condition. The EPC is graded E and the heating is oil‑fired via boiler and radiators, which may be less efficient and more costly than modern alternatives. External walls are cavity as built with no assumed added insulation, and the double glazing dates from before 2002 — both factors to consider if planning efficiency upgrades or insulation work.
This bungalow represents a clear opportunity for purchasers seeking a single‑storey home in a very affluent village with long‑term upside through refurbishment or extension. It will particularly suit those who want a ready home now with scope to personalise and add value over time, while accepting the practical work and investment needed to improve energy performance.
