Spacious family home with large garden and versatile two-storey outbuilding.
Substantially extended 1930s semi-detached home, 1,625 sq ft
This substantially extended 1930s semi offers generous family living across 1,625 sq ft on a large plot in a sought-after Tilehurst road. Period features — bay windows, herringbone/parquet flooring and stained glass — combine with a contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining room and a high-quality four-piece family bathroom to create a comfortable, versatile home.
The mature, landscaped rear garden is a standout, designed for outdoor living and entertaining. A two-storey detached outbuilding (former garage) provides valuable flexible space for a home office, studio, gym or playroom, adding real appeal for families and home-workers. Driveway parking and a modest front garden complete the plot.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is freehold, double-glazed and gas-heated via boiler and radiators. The house falls within well-regarded primary and secondary school catchments and has strong transport links to Reading and the M4 — useful for commuters. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as good.
Considerations: the building dates from the 1930s and cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so energy-efficiency upgrades may be needed. The house has one principal family bathroom serving three bedrooms. The surrounding area scores as more deprived in local measures; local amenities are close by but this is not a rural setting. These are practical matters to weigh alongside the size, garden and outbuilding potential.
