Summary - 1 Hungerford Drive RG1 6JA
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Character-filled three-bed semi with large garden, garage and no onward chain.
Large corner plot with south-west facing garden
Set on a generous corner plot just under a mile from Reading town centre, this 1930s bay-fronted semi delivers classic character with practical family space. The ground floor combines a bright bay-fronted living room, a second reception area and an open-plan kitchen opening into a conservatory — comfortable everyday living with good flow for entertaining. Upstairs are three bedrooms (two doubles) and a sizeable four-piece family bathroom. The large south-west facing garden provides privacy, space for children to play and scope to extend (STPP).
Practical strengths include driveway parking, a garage and no onward chain for a straightforward purchase. The property is well placed for local amenities, canal-side walks, Reading West station and a range of primary and secondary schools — including an Outstanding junior school nearby.
A few material points to note: the house is of solid brick construction typical of the era, with assumed no wall insulation, and may benefit from energy and fabric upgrades. Council Tax Band E is above average. While presented well, buyers should factor in potential further modernisation if higher energy efficiency or an additional bathroom is required. Planning for extension would be subject to permissions (STPP).
This home suits a growing family seeking character, outdoor space and easy access to town, or an investor looking for renovation/extension potential close to transport links.
