This well-presented Victorian semi-detached family home combines period character with practical living space across approximately 1,372 sq ft (including loft room). High ceilings, sash-style bay windows and original features give the house strong kerb appeal, while the layout — sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast, utility/shower room, three first-floor bedrooms, family bathroom and a loft room with built-in wardrobes — suits everyday family life.
The west-facing enclosed rear garden is a particular asset, mainly lawned with mature planting, a patio area and shed — a private outdoor space for children and evening sun. The location on a sought-after south-side Newbury road is convenient: walking distance to the town centre and mainline station (regular direct trains to London Paddington under an hour) and within the St John’s and St Bart’s school catchment.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile signals. The property is freehold and sits in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with a decent plot size, making it attractive to families looking for long-term stability.
Buyers should note some practical limitations: parking is on-street only, the solid brick walls are likely without cavity insulation, and parts of the interior may benefit from modernisation to meet contemporary open-plan preferences. Overall this is a characterful family home with sensible scope to update and add value rather than a turnkey new build.
