5 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Five-bedroom family home with annex, studio, gated parking and large garden in Sonning Eye..
Five bedrooms plus self-contained one-bedroom annex with independent access
Set in the peaceful hamlet of Sonning Eye, this spacious five-bedroom semi-detached house combines family-friendly living with flexible accommodation. The property includes a self-contained one-bedroom annex ideal for guests or rental income, a separate garden studio for home working or hobbies, manicured lawns, a pond and a large gated driveway offering secure parking for multiple vehicles. Available with no onward chain, it presents immediate move-in potential for a growing household.
The interior offers a dual-aspect main reception with open fireplace and French doors onto a pergola-covered dining patio, a modern kitchen with granite worktops and central island, utility room and a mix of reception rooms suited to everyday family life and entertaining. Upstairs are four double bedrooms plus a main bedroom with en suite and walk-in dressing room; the annex provides independent accommodation with kitchen, shower room and conservatory.
Practical considerations include oil-fired central heating and double glazing (install dates unknown), freehold tenure and a council tax band above average. The property sits in a medium flood-risk area and planning consent has been granted for a side extension to the neighbouring plot — factors buyers should assess with their surveyor and insurer. The house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and, while well maintained, offers scope for buyers to update parts to personal taste.
Location is a key strength: Sonning Eye’s quiet, countryside feel is minutes from Reading (approx. 3 miles) with Crossrail services for fast commuting to London. Local amenities include renowned riverside restaurants, leisure access to Caversham Lakes and well-regarded state and independent schools nearby. This home will suit families seeking generous indoor/outdoor space, multigenerational living or purchasers looking for annex rental potential.
