This four-bedroom detached house on Askew Drive offers practical family living in a quiet Spencer's Wood cul-de-sac. The property sits on a decent plot with a private rear garden, driveway and integral garage, and provides versatile space across two reception rooms, a kitchen/diner and utility room. Its total of about 1,495 sq ft is typical for the period and suits growing households who need easy access to local schools and transport links.
The bright kitchen/dining room with modern fittings and French doors leads directly to the garden, making it convenient for casual meals and outdoor entertaining. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a master with an en-suite, and a main bathroom; the layout supports a playroom, home office, or separate dining and living areas. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; windows are double-glazed (installation date unknown).
Practical considerations include an older build date (circa 1967–1975) so some elements may need updating over time; the glazing install date is unspecified and the council tax band is noted as expensive. Local schooling is mixed: good options nearby but some schools in the wider area are rated “requires improvement.” There is no flood risk and crime levels are very low, while the area is affluent with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Overall this is a solid detached family property offering comfortable accommodation, useful parking and garden space, and straightforward commuter access to the M4 and Reading. It will particularly suit buyers wanting ready-to-live-in space with scope for cosmetic updating or modest improvement projects.
