A characterful Victorian semi-detached cottage offering versatile family space across two floors and sizeable gardens. The extended layout includes a country-style kitchen with Aga, multiple reception rooms, a ground-floor bedroom/guest room and a top-floor bedroom/studio — useful for multigenerational living or home working. Practical benefits include off-street parking for 4–5 cars, private drainage and fast broadband, while the plot remains secluded and edged by mature planting.
This home retains many period features such as exposed brick, fireplaces and pine panelling that give warmth and charm. It sits in a very affluent, low-crime rural neighbourhood with good local schooling and straightforward rail links to Reading and London, making it suitable for families who need countryside living with commuting options.
Buyers should note clear, material negatives: the property currently has oil-fired central heating and an EPC rating of G, and the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated — energy upgrades will be required to improve comfort and running costs. Council tax is described as expensive, and some rooms and services may benefit from modernisation to meet contemporary standards.
Overall this is a spacious, character-rich family cottage with strong renovation potential and a large, private garden. It will appeal to purchasers looking to combine village living and good transport links, who are prepared to invest in energy improvements and some updating to unlock its full value.
