This three-bedroom end-of-terrace town house sits on the exclusive Heron Island development and delivers direct, panoramic views of the River Thames. The home offers generous living space across three storeys, including an open-plan lounge/diner/kitchen that leads to a large balcony and a private rear garden with an allocated boat mooring — ideal for riverside living and entertaining.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and a principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite. Practical features include a ground-floor utility, downstairs WC, garage and carport, double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating and solar panels that support energy efficiency. The property is offered freehold and chain free.
Location is a major strength: about 0.8 miles from Reading town centre and the mainline station, and within walking distance of Caversham high street, Christchurch Meadows and a number of well-regarded primary and independent schools — a strong draw for families. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add to everyday convenience.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in a high flood-risk area and backs directly onto the river, so flood resilience, insurance costs and ongoing maintenance will be important factors. The plot is small and council tax is in Band F, so running costs are above average. Constructed in the 1980s, the house is well-presented but offers further scope for personalisation or modernisation where desired.
