Description
This charming 1930's detached family home, located in the sought-after Caversham Heights area, offers a blend of period features and modern conveniences. The property is set within a beautifully established south-facing garden and comes with ample parking and an attached garage. With its generous living spaces and excellent internal presentation, this home is perfect for family living. Upon entering, you are greeted by an inviting reception hall with original period details. The living room, with its bay window and central fireplace featuring a wood-burning stove, creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The adjoining sitting/dining room, with French doors opening to the garden, offers a dual aspect, filling the space with natural light. Both rooms retain elegant touches, including original wood floors and a stunning Adams-style fireplace. The fitted kitchen is a real highlight, complete with a Belfast sink, oak work surfaces, and modern appliances including an integrated fridge/freezer and a five-ring gas hob. French doors lead to the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A handy cloakroom and a well-sized utility area complete the ground floor. Upstairs, the four bedrooms are well-proportioned and feature period details such as leaded light windows and built-in wardrobes. The elegant bathroom boasts a roll-top bath and separate shower room, both beautifully appointed. The south-facing rear garden is a serene outdoor space, with established flower borders, mature trees, and a lovely decking area, ideal for outdoor entertaining. The front of the property offers ample parking with a sweeping pea-shingle driveway, and the attached garage provides further storage space. Planning approval for extensions was previously granted but has since lapsed (Application No: 190857). These plans included expanding the living room and adding additional space to the upper floor, creating potential for further development, subject to the necessary planning consents. This property is ideally located close to local schools, including The Heights Primary School, and is within easy reach of Reading station, making it a perfect family home. Location: Caversham lies to the north bank of the River Thames, just two miles from Reading and the mainline train station. It's easily accessible by Caversham Bridge, Reading Bridge and Caversham Lock with Sonning Bridge a few miles east. The centre of Caversham features a shopping area including a Waitrose complemented by many good bars, pubs and restaurants. The local area has some fine schools including Queen Anne's Caversham, Shiplake College, Reading Bluecoat and Reading School. The M4 is an easy drive away and Reading train station has fast connections to London Paddington in just over 20 minutes. Ideal for golfers, the property is close to Mapledurham Health, Fitness & Golf Club and Caversheam Heath Golf Club, and is only a short drive to Badgemore Park and Reading Golf Club.
