Long Close is a mid‑century detached family home set on a very large plot in Streatley, quietly positioned close to local shops and the train station. The ground floor has been reconfigured to create an open plan kitchen‑dining room and a bright triple‑aspect sitting room with a brick fireplace and French doors to a south‑facing garden that extends to approx. 51'. These light, flexible spaces suit everyday family life and entertaining.
Practical benefits include a detached double garage, generous driveway parking and fast broadband for remote working. The property sits in a very affluent, low‑crime village with good primary and secondary school options nearby and easy road connections to Pangbourne and Reading.
Notable issues are honest and straightforward: the house has oil‑fired central heating (individual, not a community supply), secondary glazing, and solid brick walls assumed to have no cavity insulation. There is a single family bathroom serving four bedrooms. These factors present running cost and improvement considerations and offer clear scope for energy upgrades, reconfiguration or extension subject to planning.
This is a ready‑to‑move‑into home for a family who value location, outdoor space and potential. Buyers looking to reduce running costs or maximise space should budget for insulation, heating upgrades and possible bathroom expansion to realise the house’s full long‑term potential.
