If you have been looking for a substantial Victorian family home in Reading with the space and character to make your own, this property deserves a closer look.
Set on a popular tree-lined road in West Reading, this four-bedroom semi-detached home offers approximately 1,520 sq ft of accommodation across three floors, together with an 60ft south-east facing garden backing directly onto Kensington Park.
Speaking to neighbours, there is a real sense of community along the road, with residents even having their own WhatsApp group.
The attractive red-brick frontage, bay windows, high ceilings, decorative detailing and period fireplaces give the house plenty of character, while the generous proportions provide an excellent starting point for a family wanting to create a home around their own style and needs.
The ground floor begins with a traditional entrance hallway leading into an impressive through living room measuring approximately 24'9" x 12'6". A bay window brings plenty of natural light into the front of the room, while its size comfortably allows for separate sitting and dining areas. There is also scope to reinstate the original arrangement of two separate reception rooms, each centred around a feature fireplace.
To the rear is the kitchen/breakfast room, measuring approximately 18'4" x 10'2", providing plenty of space for everyday family life. There is also a useful WC beneath the stairs.
On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. The front bedroom is particularly generous at approximately 16'5" x 14'5", with a wide bay window mirroring the ground floor, while the two remaining bedrooms are both comfortable doubles and could equally work as children's rooms or home offices.
On the second floor is a large fourth bedroom measuring approximately 16'5" x 13'1", together with its own ensuite shower room. The separation from the other bedrooms makes this an ideal principal bedroom, guest suite or space for an older child.
Outside, the 60ft south-east facing rear garden, backing directly onto Kensington Park rather than another row of houses, gives the garden a more open outlook and could provide plenty of space for children, entertaining when further landscaped.
The location works particularly well for families. Local schools are close by, Kensington Park is immediately behind the property and Prospect Park is within easy reach. Reading West railway station is around half a mile away, with Reading town centre and the mainline station also readily accessible
