About
Bridges are delighted to bring to the market this 1930s semi detached house situated on a private tree-lined road in the heart of Caversham.
The property has been vastly extended offering generous accommodation with a superb kitchen/diner/living area with roof lantern and two sets of bi-fold doors to the raised patio and garden.
The kitchen has a large island with quartz worktop with seating, storage and a Belfast Sink.
There are floor and eye level storage units and the utility/laundry room offers more storage and access to the garden. The front room has a large bay window and a recently installed wood burner.
There is a downstairs cloakroom and storage area ideal for coats and shoes. Upstairs are four bedrooms the largest benefitting from a wall of built in wardrobes and shelves.
There are two other generous doubles, one with an ensuite shower room. The smallest bedroom has built in storage.
The patio is raised with a reinforced glass `wall` and steps leading to the garden which is mostly laid to lawn. There is a garage at the back accessed via a lane that runs behind Balmore Drive.
Houses on Balmore Drive benefit from a recently refurbished tennis court with `wild` play area. Access to Balmore Park is via the lane or at the top of the road.
