Set back from the road, this handsome home makes a striking first impression with its intricate patterned brickwork and elegant bay window. One of only a select handful of substantial period residences on Reading Road, it offers a rare combination of charm and modern comfort. A pretty recessed porch opens into a wide and welcoming entrance hall, where picture rails and decorative plasterwork set a refined, period tone.
The double reception room is an elegant, light-filled space, bathed in afternoon sun through the large west-facing bay window. The seating area centres on a beautiful fireplace with a feature surround, while bespoke shelving and cabinetry provide both display space and discreet storage.
To the rear, the house opens into its true heart, a stunning, split-level kitchen, dining, and living area designed for both lively gatherings and intimate family time. The kitchen, recently refitted by the current owners, pairs shaker-style cabinetry with classic wooden worktops and timeless metro-tiled splashbacks. Natural light flows effortlessly through this space, with the kitchen stepping down into the dining area, and with an open view over the relaxed living space and garden beyond.
The first floor offers three generous double bedrooms, each with its own character. The principal front bedroom is particularly bright, with south and west-facing windows capturing the sun throughout the day. A contemporary family bathroom serves this floor.
On the top floor, the impressive principal suite delivers a real sense of escape - generous proportions, extensive built-in storage, a Juliet balcony with a unique view across the town, and a modern en-suite shower room.
The rear garden is as thoughtfully presented as the home itself. Three beautifully stocked raised beds frame a generous patio and an expanse of high-quality faux lawn, low-maintenance and perfect for children's play or relaxed entertaining.
This is a home that blends grandeur with warmth, style with substance - a rare opportunity in one of the area's most desirable and convenient locations.
