Long Barn Lane, Reading, RG2 7SX

Seller's comments... "Long Barn Lane has been my home for the past nine years, and I still remember the feeling when I first stepped through the door.

From that very first viewing, I knew it was the house for me. I was amazed at how deceptively spacious it felt and everyone who visits says the same and affectionately calls it a “Tardis”!

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to put my own stamp on the house. I’ve upgraded the bathroom and kitchen, added luxurious carpets, and landscaped the garden.

These are just a few of the improvements that have truly transformed the space. The kitchen/diner is something I absolutely adore.

It’s rare to find such a wonderful social hub in this style of home, and it has been the heart of so many happy moments. It has certainly set the standard for our next house.

I also love that the living room is separate from the rest of the home; it’s a calm, tranquil retreat away from the chaos of the kids and my partner! The south-facing garden is another highlight.

It always feels noticeably warmer and has been the perfect setting for countless parties and summer barbecues, especially since the landscaping was completed. The local area is fantastic.

The front of the house overlooks a park, meaning no awkward glances from neighbours. It's just open, green space.

We’ve enjoyed many weekend walks to Zotta Deli for breakfast, and when my daughter was a baby, I loved strolling into town for a coffee while getting my steps in.

Long Barn Lane is the home where I built my family, and it will always hold a very special place in my heart. I bought the house as an “I” and feel blessed to be leaving as a “we”.

I hope the next owner has the chance to create just as many wonderful memories here as we have." Adam's (estate agent) comments...

It’s rare to find a home in Reading—especially within this price range—that has been thoughtfully extended to both the front and rear, offers driveway parking, and boasts a generous south-facing garden.

This is a standout opportunity. The current owner has meticulously maintained and upgraded the property, presenting it in superb condition throughout.

Both the modern kitchen and stylish bathroom have been refurbished to a high standard in recent years, allowing a buyer to move straight in with confidence.

The clever front extension creates a welcoming and spacious entrance hallway while also significantly enhancing the size of the bathroom.

The ground floor layout is versatile, featuring a well-proportioned bedroom that could equally serve as a home office or study which is ideal for modern living.

To the rear, the home opens beautifully into a bright, open-plan kitchen/dining space, perfectly designed for entertaining and everyday family life.

This space overlooks the impressive south-facing garden, flooding the room with natural light. There is also a separate reception room at the rear, offering additional living space or a cosy retreat.

Upstairs, you’ll find two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in wardrobes and dual-aspect windows, creating light-filled and airy spaces.

The garden is a real highlight as it is exceptionally large, south-facing, and complete with an outbuilding and rear access via a gate, making it both practical and private.

To the front, there is driveway parking for two vehicles which is another highly sought-after feature in this area.

Location-wise, this home is perfectly positioned, overlooking green space and just a short walk from local amenities including a Morrisons supermarket.

Reading town centre is also easily accessible, offering excellent transport links, shopping, and dining options.
