Set on a generous plot in central Mortimer, this spacious four-bedroom detached home offers around 2,000 sq ft of flexible living across multiple reception rooms and bedrooms. The layout works well for families: living room with bay, dining room with garden access, study, utility and a principal bedroom with en-suite. Outside there is a wrap-around garden with several seating areas, driveway parking and a detached double garage with electric door accessed via a private road. Offered freehold and chain free.
The location is a major strength — village shops, healthcare and well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within walking distance, and Mortimer station is about 1.5 miles away for commuter links to Reading and beyond. Fast broadband and an affluent, low-risk flood area add practical appeal for everyday living and home working.
The house has clear scope for updating and improvement, which explains much of its attraction to buyers seeking future potential. Constructed before 1900, the property has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and double glazing installed before 2002; further insulation and modernisation will improve comfort and running costs. Solar panels are present but the overall heating relies on a mains-gas boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note some material points: the age of the property means routine historic maintenance is likely, council tax is above average (Band E), glazing and wall insulation may need upgrading, and photos suggest possible areas of damp or minor mould that should be inspected. These are typical of older houses and factor into the value and renovation budget.
