Quiet cul-de-sac living with good commuter links makes this tidy two-bedroom terrace a practical choice for first-time buyers or downsizers. The home is offered chain free and benefits from a refreshed kitchen, a south-facing low-maintenance garden and driveway parking with access to a nearby garage.
Internally the layout is traditional and compact: an open-plan living/dining room with patio doors to the garden and an updated U-shaped kitchen on the ground floor, two bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The house is on a small plot and the total internal area is modest, so space-conscious buyers should expect cosy rooms rather than expansive living areas.
Practical running costs are supported by mains gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002), though the EPC rating is D. The property was built in the 1980s and has a filled cavity wall; buyers should allow for typical maintenance and potential modernisation over time rather than expecting a brand-new specification.
Positioned in Burghfield Common, the house has easy access to local shops, schools rated Good, nearby woodland walks and commuter links (M4, Mortimer and Theale stations). This is a straightforward, low-upkeep home that suits someone seeking an affordable, well-located starter home or a simple move with no onward chain complications.
