Description
Set within a popular residential road and within easy reach of Reading University, and both Crossfields and Leighton Park private schools, this unique detached family home has undergone various improvements by the current owners.
Positioned in the centre of a larger than average plot, the accommodation spans in excess of 1700 sq. ft and boasts: a generous entrance hall, a downstairs cloakroom, a large living room, separate dining room and a country style kitchen with a double range cooker.
The downstairs space has been very well planned and flows beautifully with the three aforementioned rooms opening up in to one another to create an open plan space which is great for entertaining.
Additionally, the former double garage has also been converted to incorporate a utility room and a large L-shaped room which could be used as a family room, games room, a studio/home office or even an annexe if anyone is looking to combine households for multi-generational living.
The first floor continues to impress, there is a large open landing, with two storage cupboards, this leads to a modern three piece family bathroom and three bedrooms, including an impressive master which has built-in wardrobes and a three piece en-suite shower room.
Externally, there is parking via a large driveway and a generous front garden, whilst to the rear, the gardens are of a sunny aspect and have been particularly well maintained and is a lovely entertaining space for anyone who enjoys hosting in the spring and summer months.
Within easy reach of both Reading and Wokingham town centres, which offer a plethora of shops and restaurants, the property is ideal for anyone looking to commute in to the city via Reading’s unrivalled transport links, as both the M4 motorway and the mainline railway station are both close by.
Ideal for a family looking to upsize to their forever home, the property has been much loved by the current owners over many years and is now ready for a new family to make new memories in what is a great example of a beautiful property in a fabulous location.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
