This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Whitley Wood Lane offers practical family living with useful parking and outdoor space. The layout includes a living room, kitchen/diner, sunroom, ground-floor WC, three bedrooms and a single family bathroom — all arranged over multiple storeys. A garage and a gravel driveway provide off-street parking for several cars, useful for commuting to Reading town centre and the nearby M4.
The rear garden is mature, well-sized and fenced, suitable for children and gardening. Internally the home is presented as tidy and ready to move into, with double glazing installed (date unknown) and fast broadband available — helpful for homeworking or streaming. Local amenities, schools and public transport links are within walking distance.
Notable considerations: the house was constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls and no known wall insulation, so further insulation works could be needed to improve energy efficiency and heating costs. The property is on a community heating scheme and uses mains gas. The wider area shows high levels of deprivation and mixed socio-economic indicators; local school ratings are mixed with some requiring improvement. Council Tax Band C is recorded as affordable.
This home suits families seeking space close to transport links and town facilities, buyers willing to invest modestly in energy upgrades, or investors targeting lettings in a well-connected part of Reading. It has strong practical attributes (parking, garage, garden) alongside clear improvement opportunities for long-term value.
