About
Georgina & Sarah Estate Agents View: What sets this house apart from other homes in Lower Earley, Reading is the exceptional position within the close, being tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac directly next to nature, with a green and mature trees quite literally on the doorstep.
The large corner plot garden is also non-overlooked to the rear, enhancing privacy.
This creates a rare feeling of being in a semi-rural, secluded setting rather than a typical Lower Earley location, yet still within easy reach of all the conveniences and excellent commuter links the area has to offer without being hemmed in.
To the front there is ample driveway parking and an attached single garage.
Stepping inside, there is a welcoming hallway with a view directly through to the rear of the property and out towards the garden and greenery.
There is a living room to the front, semi open to a dining room with bi-fold doors leading out to the garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.
The modern, recently refitted kitchen has built-in appliances including an induction hob, double oven/grill and fridge/freezer, with space for a full-size dishwasher.
Directly off the kitchen is an extension behind the garage with a large utility room, perfect for busy families, offering space for a washing machine and ample storage.
A downstairs WC completes the ground floor. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a good-sized single bedroom, a modern family bathroom and an en-suite shower room to the main bedroom.
The wrap-around garden is west-facing, enjoying plenty of afternoon and evening sunshine.
It benefits from side access on both sides and a large patio area, ideal for entertaining, all while backing onto greenery and trees for a peaceful, private outlook.
Location Information The house is in an enviable position at the end of the close, bordering a nature reserve and Swallows Meadow, with open green space, woodland walks and natural surroundings right on the doorstep, perfect for those seeking a home close to nature in Lower Earley, Reading.
There is also a BMX track within a couple of minutes’ walk, ideal for children and teenagers to enjoy and practise their bike riding skills.
Lidstone Close is a family-friendly part of Lower Earley, with amenities such as Asda supermarket and the Chalfont shopping complex very close by, and within a short walk to Maiden Place.
Here you will find a Sainsbury’s Local, The Seven Red Roses pub, The Rustic Café, hairdressers and highly regarded restaurants including Rajmoni and Kei’s Peking Chinese.
Fast road links make commuting easy, with the M4 Junction 10 or 11 reachable within ten minutes, making this an ideal location for commuters who want a balance of accessibility and a peaceful, nature-rich setting.
Sellers View: "We bought this house as a growing family because of how rare it was to find a property that balances privacy, peace and still being near to all the places and things you need to do everyday life!
We managed to put our own stamp on it decoratively and have loved being here for the past 5 years.
Having swallows meadow just across the road, the maiden place shops a 5 minute walk away and lots of kids parks nearby has meant whether you need a quiet walk (away from work, kids or anything else!) or to get outside with family or friends then it accommodates the lot.
We remember being sold on this house when we looked out of the master bedroom window and you could only see trees and woodland - which is truly unique for this area!
The neighbours are all lovely and it’s got a genuine community feel, and being a short walk from Hawkedon primary and in Maiden Erlegh catchment helped tick all the school boxes for us.
It’s been a fantastic home that we’ve really valued and know the next owners will too!"
