Description

A characterful 1930s three-bedroom box-bay semi, quietly positioned on the edge of Reading town centre. Highlights include a superb open-plan kitchen/dining room, cloakroom, separate utility, mature garden and a rare double-width driveway.
Set along a quiet, established road on the edge of Reading town centre, this characterful 1930s box-bay semi-detached home combines period personality with the space and practicality needed for modern family life.

The accommodation extends to approximately 980 sq ft, beginning with a welcoming entrance hall and a bay-fronted living room centred around a freestanding stove. To the rear, the house opens into a generous kitchen and dining room designed for cooking, eating and spending time together, with glazed doors providing a natural connection to the garden. A separate utility room and ground-floor cloakroom keep the everyday essentials neatly away from the main living space.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two impressive doubles measuring approximately 16 feet in length, together with a contemporary shower room featuring a generous walk-in enclosure and wood-effect vanity unit.

Outside, the mature rear garden offers a lawn, established planting, a water feature and separate areas for dining and relaxing. Both side and rear access make it particularly convenient for bicycles and gardening equipment.

At the front, a double-width driveway provides valuable off-road parking, a considerable advantage in a location this close to town. Local amenities, schools and transport connections are all within easy reach, making this a home that offers peace and privacy without sacrificing everyday convenience.

This charming semi-detached three-bedroom house offers the perfect blend of period character and contemporary style. The property features a spacious and inviting layout, with two generous reception rooms ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. Large bay windows throughout the house flood the interiors with natural light, while modern decor, neutral tones, and wood flooring create a fresh, welcoming atmosphere. The bright hallway, enhanced by elegant hardwood floors and a stylish staircase, leads to well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefiting from ample built-in storage and calming colour schemes. The family bathroom boasts a sleek, modern design with a walk-in shower, contemporary tiles, floating vanity unit, and heated towel rail - delivering both comfort and luxury.

At the heart of the home lies a stunning open plan kitchen and dining area, featuring sleek modern cabinetry, a spacious kitchen island with integrated appliances, and attractive wood-effect flooring. French doors connect this vibrant space to the beautifully landscaped garden, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living ideal for family gatherings or entertaining guests. The kitchen is further complemented by a dedicated utility area with ample storage and a modern washer, enhancing every-day convenience. The living rooms are designed for comfort and style, highlighted by cosy wood-burning stoves set against bold accent walls, contemporary lighting, and built-in shelving for both display and practicality.

The exterior is equally impressive, with off-road parking for multiple vehicles on a paved driveway, and a well-maintained front garden that adds wonderful kerb appeal. The private rear garden is a tranquil oasis with a decked patio area, stylish seating, vibrant planting, a decorative water feature, and a practical garden shed. The conservatory provides a versatile retreat for year-round enjoyment, overlooking the landscaped grounds. Additional highlights include modern home office setups, built-in wardrobes with mirrored doors, and charming period features such as an arched brick entrance and decorative front door. Situated in a tree-lined residential neighbourhood close to essential amenities, this property offers comfort, convenience, and timeless appeal - making it a truly exceptional family home.

Entrance Porch

The home begins with a distinctive arched entrance and an attractive glazed front door, opening into a bright and welcoming hallway.

Entrance Hall

Wood-effect flooring provides a practical finish, while the staircase and long sightline through the house give an immediate sense of space. Thoughtful decorative touches add warmth and personality without detracting from the home’s original character.

Living room

15' 1" x 9' 8" (4.61m x 2.94m)

The living room is a comfortable and inviting space, with the box-bay window drawing in plenty of natural light. A deep blue chimney breast creates a strong focal point, complemented by a freestanding wood burning stove and timber mantel. There is ample room for generous seating, making this a space equally suited to quiet evenings, family film nights or simply settling down in front of the fire. Small decorative details and the window-side shelving give the room a homely, individual feel.

Kitchen / diner

17' 0" x 15' 10" (5.17m x 4.83m)

The kitchen and dining room is the natural heart of the home, bringing cooking, eating and everyday family life together in one sociable space. The kitchen is arranged around a generous central island, providing additional preparation space together with informal breakfast-bar seating. A comprehensive range of contemporary grey cabinetry offers extensive storage, complemented by marble quartz work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances. There is plenty of room for a full-size dining table, whether for everyday meals, working from home or gathering friends and family around for dinner. Glazed doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing summer entertaining to flow naturally outside.

Utility Room

Positioned just beyond the kitchen, the separate utility room keeps laundry and household essentials away from the main living space. There is room for appliances, useful shelving and additional storage, together with direct access outside. It is a practical feature that makes a noticeable difference to the way the house works day to day.

Cloakroom

Discreetly positioned off the entrance hall, the ground-floor cloakroom is fitted with a WC and wash basin. It is a particularly useful addition for family life and visiting guests.

First Floor Landing

The staircase rises to a bright first-floor landing, connecting the three bedrooms and shower room. Its simple, neutral presentation allows the character and colour within each bedroom to take centre stage. Access to part board loft space, providing practical and useful additional storage.

Bedroom 1

16' 2" x 9' 7" (4.92m x 2.92m)

Bedroom one is a generously proportioned double room extending to more than 16 feet in length. The room comfortably accommodates a large bed while retaining excellent circulation space, and a space for substantial run of wardrobes. The soft green palette creates a calm, restful atmosphere, while the window brings in plenty of daylight.

Bedroom 2

16' 2" x 9' 6" (4.93m x 2.89m)

Almost identical in size to the principal bedroom, bedroom two is another impressive double room. A broad bay window is a prefect space for a window seat, creating the perfect place to read, relax or simply enjoy the outlook. The room also provides excellent space for freestanding wardrobes, drawers and additional bedroom furniture without feeling crowded. Its size and character make it much more than a conventional second bedroom.

Bedroom 3

10' 3" x 5' 7" (3.12m x 1.69m)

Bedroom three is currently arranged as a dedicated home office, demonstrating how well the house adapts to modern life. It would also work as a child’s bedroom, nursery, study or creative space. The window provides good natural light, while the room’s proportions allow for a desk, storage and additional furniture.

Bathroom

Finished in contemporary grey tiling, the shower room has a smart and streamlined appearance. It features a generous walk-in shower enclosure, a wash basin set into a wood-effect vanity unit and a WC. The window provides natural light and ventilation, while the thoughtful layout makes excellent use of the available space.

Outside space
Garden

The mature rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged to provide several places to sit, relax and entertain. Although north-facing, its length and cleverly positioned seating areas allow you to follow the sun or choose the shade throughout the day. A patio adjoins the house, with a lawn bordered by established and colourful planting leading to a lower walled garden. Here, raised decking creates a particularly sheltered and private setting. A charming water feature adds further character, while both side and rear access make the garden especially practical for bicycles, gardening equipment and family life.
