This detached two-bedroom bungalow sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Caversham Heights, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation. The single-storey layout is practical: two double bedrooms (master with en-suite), a generous living room, separate dining room and a modern kitchen. A detached garage, driveway and large mature rear garden add useful outdoor and storage space for downsizers or small families.
The property dates from the mid-20th century and presents as well maintained externally, with neat brickwork and established shrubbery. Inside there are some dated finishes (1980s-style hallway and décor) so the home will suit buyers looking for comfortable, move-in-ready accommodation with scope to refresh or personalise. EPC rating D and council tax band E should be noted when budgeting running costs.
Location is a clear strength: very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, with easy access to Reading mainline station and good local schools including an Outstanding primary. The large rear garden and detached garage create long-term potential — whether to enhance for entertaining, adapt for accessibility, or update the interior to increase value.
Material negatives are factual: the EPC is D and council tax is band E (above average). The house was constructed in the 1950s–60s so buyers should expect older construction details (filled cavity walls) and investigate services as needed. Overall this is a spacious, single-storey detached home in a very affluent, low-traffic neighbourhood, appealing to buyers seeking low-maintenance suburban living with future upgrade potential.
