Summary - 5 LILAC CLOSE PURLEY ON THAMES READING RG8 8TG
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Generous family space near stations and top schools.
Large open-plan living with conservatory and garden access
This substantial semi-detached home sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Purley on Thames, a convenient location for Pangbourne and Tilehurst stations. The house offers generous living space across a large footprint, with an open-plan living area, conservatory and an enclosed garden that will suit growing families who need indoor-outdoor flow and off-street parking for several cars.
Practical details make day-to-day living straightforward: the property is freehold, connected to mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and benefits from double glazing (installation date unknown). Local amenities and highly rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, and the area is affluent with low crime and low flood risk — appealing for buyers prioritising safety and long-term value.
There are a few points to note: the listing contains inconsistent bedroom information (3 vs 4 bedrooms), so buyers should confirm the exact layout; the home was constructed in the late 1960s–1970s and may benefit from some modernisation in areas such as electrics, finishes or kitchen upgrades. There is one main family bathroom plus a ground-floor WC, which families should consider when comparing other local homes.
Overall, this property suits a family seeking space, parking and good local schools, or an investor looking for a substantial three- or four-bedroom house in a desirable riverside-commuter location. Viewing is recommended to assess room configuration and any updating required.
