Set on a generous plot in leafy Upper Basildon, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers practical family living and a large, private rear garden that opens onto neighbouring woodland. Ground-floor accommodation is flexible — a dual-aspect living/dining room, a well-proportioned kitchen and a separate room currently used as a home office (previously a bedroom) create space for family life or home-working. Half the garage has been repurposed as a utility area, and there is off-street driveway parking.
The first floor provides three sensible bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The garden is a standout feature: well tended lawns, herbaceous borders, vegetable patches and fruit trees, with a gate leading into adjacent woods, offering additional informal outdoor space for children. The location is quietly residential yet conveniently placed for local schools, village amenities and commuter routes; Pangbourne station and the M4 (J12) are within easy reach.
Practical considerations are straightforward and transparent. The house dates from the 1960s and uses oil-fired central heating via a boiler and radiators; fuel and servicing costs should be factored in. Walls are cavity construction with no known added insulation and the glazing is double but of unknown installation date, so buyers wanting improved energy efficiency may consider upgrades. There is one bathroom and some adaptation (garage conversion/utility) has already occurred, which may affect space planning for some buyers.
Overall this is a comfortable family home in a very low-crime, affluent village setting with strong schooling options nearby and scope to modernise energy performance and interior layout. It will suit buyers seeking a peaceful village lifestyle with generous outdoor space and flexible accommodation.
