About
A beautifully presented Victorian semi-detached family home, tucked away in a peaceful University-side setting and ideally positioned for highly regarded schools, the Royal Berkshire Hospital and the University campus.
This elegant period home has been thoughtfully upgraded and sympathetically improved to create a stylish yet practical home for modern family living.
Arranged over three generous floors, the accommodation is both flexible and well balanced.
The ground floor is anchored around an impressive open-plan kitchen and breakfast room, seamlessly connecting to two interlinked reception rooms.
The living room features exposed floorboards and a log burner, creating a warm and inviting space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The upper floors provide four well-proportioned bedrooms, served by a contemporary family bathroom complete with a striking freestanding curved double-ended bath and separate shower enclosure with an additional shower room on the first floor.
Outside, the walled south-facing garden is designed for ease of maintenance and year-round enjoyment, featuring an artificial lawn and a private terrace ideal for alfresco dining.
Conveniently located for Reading town centre, the mainline station, and the Oracle shopping centre, the property also offers excellent access to the M4 motorway and nearby business parks.
