A rare riverside opportunity in Caversham, offered chain free and for the first time in over 40 years. Set on a substantial plot with direct river frontage, this detached four-bedroom house provides over 2,500 sq ft of accommodation and private mooring with a boat charging point — a strong lifestyle asset for boating families.
The property’s living areas are arranged to maximise the view: an L-shaped sitting room, open-plan kitchen/dining and a full-width balcony all face the river, creating excellent indoor/outdoor flow. The ground floor houses four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, two rooms with direct garden access. A double garage and generous gardens that run to the river’s edge complete the picture.
Although the house benefits from double glazing and gas heating, it dates from the 1970s and shows clear potential for modernisation and reconfiguration (subject to planning). Some external elements and roof wear may need attention, and the plot carries a medium flood risk which will affect insurance and any waterside works. For buyers seeking a large family home with huge scope to remodel into a contemporary riverside residence, this is a rare plot in a highly desirable location.
Positioned within easy reach of Reading mainline station and well-regarded local schools, the house suits families and commuters who prioritise space, river access and future uplift through renovation. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale of the plot and the quality of the river aspect.
