This two-bedroom end-of-terrace home on Sharnwood Drive is a compact, practical choice for first-time buyers or downsizers seeking an affordable freehold near Reading. Across two floors the layout includes a welcoming living room, kitchen opening to a low-maintenance rear garden and two upstairs bedrooms with family bathroom. The property totals approximately 610 sq ft and offers useful storage including a front lean-to and hallway cupboards.
Practical benefits include a garage in a nearby block, ample guest parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working or streaming. Local everyday amenities are close by: Aldi and Lidl around 1.2 miles, bus services into Reading, Linear Park and quick access to M4 Junction 12 (about 2.2 miles). Several local primary and secondary schools rated Good by Ofsted are within walking distance, adding appeal for families.
The house represents value for buyers willing to personalise: it shows post‑war, 1970s styling and has scope for modernization in areas if desired. The plot and overall size are small, so space is limited compared with larger family homes. Council Tax Band C (West Berkshire) is currently quoted at £2,089.54 per year.
This is a straightforward, well-located property for someone prioritising location, low running complexity and parking convenience. Buyers wanting generous indoor space or a large garden should note the compact footprint and assess whether remodelling would meet their needs.
