About
Set within an exclusive Charles Church development in Reading’s sought-after University area, this beautifully considered four-bedroom house forms part of a discreet collection of just 30 homes arranged within a peaceful, park-like setting close to the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
Designed with contemporary family living in mind, the house balances elegant proportions with a highly practical layout.
At its heart is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space; a sociable and light-filled room that extends across the rear of the house and opens directly onto the garden through two sets of glazed double doors.
The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with integrated appliances, quartz work surfaces and a generous breakfast bar, creating a space equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.
To the front of the house, the sitting room enjoys a southerly aspect overlooking a small green, while a separate utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged across the first floor.
The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, while a cleverly designed Jack-and-Jill bathroom serves two further bedrooms, providing a flexible arrangement for family living or guests.
A separate family bathroom with shower cubicle completes the upper level.
The rear garden has matured beautifully and provides a private and established outdoor setting, with a paved terrace for al fresco dining and entertaining leading onto a generous lawned garden beyond.
The house is exceptionally well placed for access to the University of Reading campus, the Royal Berkshire Hospital and a number of highly regarded state and independent schools.
Reading town centre is within walking distance, offering mainline rail services to London, along with the riverside restaurants, bars and shopping facilities of The Oracle.
