About
Bridges are delighted to bring to the market this beautifully presented Edwardian semi detached house brimming with character appeal and benefiting from an established 100ft rear garden.
The property is situated in a sought after residential road in the heart of Caversham Heights, is within striking distance of Reading mainline railway station, is a short walk from bustling Caversham centre and is in the catchment area for the Ofsted outstanding Heights Primary School.
The well lit and spacious accommodation includes a good size and welcoming reception hall leading to both reception rooms featuring magnificent cast iron fireplaces.
The kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances affords plenty of space for a large table and chairs, French doors to the garden and an opening to the Study/Family family room.
The bright and spacious landing with a magnificent side aspect stained glass window gives access to the well appointed bathroom and all three double bedrooms, bedroom one being dual aspect.
The rear garden is a particular feature predominantly laid to lawn and skirted by mature trees and shrub beds with a vegetable growing area beyond.
In our opinion, there is the potential to extend the house to the rear and into the loft space subject to the usual planning consent being obtained.
An early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this lovely period home and there is no ongoing chain.
