This substantial detached dormer-style house in Tilehurst offers more than 2,100 sq ft of flexible living across three floors — ideal for growing families or those who work from home. Large reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/breakfast area and a fitted home office create practical daily living spaces, while high ceilings and generous glazing bring light throughout. The lower ground floor provides an independent living/media area with direct garden access, adding genuine adaptability for multigenerational use or home business.
Set on a large, mature and private plot, the rear garden is sheltered and well-established, perfect for children, pets and year-round entertaining. Two driveways plus an attached garage give abundant off-street parking and scope to extend (subject to necessary consents). The location is convenient for excellent local schools, open countryside and rail links to central Reading and London, with fast broadband and very low local crime.
Practical considerations: the house dates from the mid-20th century and, while many modern features are in place (gas central heating, double glazing and low-energy lighting), some elements assume older construction details — cavity walls are listed as having no built-in insulation (assumed). The property presents good potential for updating or extension but will suit buyers willing to carry out selective modernisation. Council tax is noted as expensive, and mobile signal is average in parts of the plot.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home with clear potential to personalise and adapt. It will particularly suit buyers seeking space, privacy and flexibility close to Tilehurst village amenities and top-rated local schools.
