About
Over one quarter of an acre, in a prime Maiden Erlegh and University location. An already large, detached family home with potential for extension if required (stp).
5 bedrooms, ensuite shower room, family bathroom, lounge opening onto conservatory, dining room, impressive open-plan kitchen/ breakfast/ family room with bifold doors to the garden, downstairs cloak & shower room, utility room, useful store room, double glazed, gas radiator central heating with newly installed boiler, driveway parking for several cars.
A 1950s Cooks detached property, extended about 17 years ago and enjoying particularly large gardens which may provide the opportunity for further enlargement if required, subject to all necessary consents.
The rear gardens extend by an average of about 180ft in a northerly direction and by a width of about 50ft.
The overall depth of the plot is approximately 250ft, thereby extending to about 0.28 of an acre.
The location is superb, being in the original Maiden Erlegh catchment, not far from the University, and close to excellent amenities including the Asda and Marks & Spencer shopping complexes.
Maiden Erlegh Lake and Nature Reserve is also close by, and bus routes locally provide access into Reading town centre, where the main line railway station provides fast services to Paddington, services on the Elizabeth Line, and services to Waterloo which run through the nearby Earley Railway Station.
The M4 motorway can be accessed either at Junction 11, where there is also the A33 south to Basingstoke, as well as Green Park and its new railway station; or at Junction 10 where London then lies approximately 40 miles away and Heathrow Airport approximately 28 miles away.
