Wokingham Road, Reading

Situated on the popular and well-connected Wokingham Road, this substantial four-bedroom Victorian home, dating from 1862, combines impressive proportions and original character with a number of significant modern improvements. Offering exceptionally spacious accommodation across three floors, two generous reception rooms, four unusually large bedrooms, excellent storage and a large garage, this is a home that offers both character and flexibility for modern family life.

The property retains many of its original features, giving the house a real sense of history and character, while having been thoughtfully updated over the years. The kitchen and dining room were completely renovated just two years ago, creating a modern, sociable space that works beautifully for both everyday family life and entertaining. The generous proportions of the room provide plenty of space for cooking, dining and spending time together.

The two substantial reception rooms are another particular feature of the property. Both offer considerably more space than you would typically expect, providing plenty of flexibility for family living, entertaining, working from home or creating separate spaces for different generations. The generous room sizes continue throughout the house, with all four bedrooms being exceptionally large and offering considerable flexibility for family members, guests, home working or hobbies.

The property also benefits from useful storage on every floor, making the most of the generous footprint and providing practical space for family life. A large garage offers further secure storage and parking, with ample room for vehicles, bicycles, tools, equipment and hobbies.

Upstairs, the four exceptionally spacious bedrooms are complemented by two bathrooms, both of which have been newly fitted. The combination of large bedrooms, modern bathrooms and excellent storage makes the upper floors particularly well suited to a growing family or buyers looking for space without compromising on convenience.

Outside, the property benefits from useful outdoor space together with parking and the substantial garage. The overall combination of generous internal accommodation, storage, parking and garage space makes this a particularly versatile home.

Location is another major attraction. The No. 17 bus stops just a minute's walk from the property and provides a 24-hour service into Reading town centre, making it particularly convenient for evenings and weekends. There are also regular bus services towards the hospital, offering a useful alternative to driving and dealing with the notoriously difficult parking around the hospital.

A range of local shops, parks and everyday amenities are all within easy walking distance, while the beautiful University of Reading campus is also just a short walk away. Reading town centre is easily accessible by bus, providing an excellent choice of shopping, restaurants, leisure and entertainment, while the property's position on Wokingham Road also provides convenient access towards Wokingham and the wider Berkshire area.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely spacious Victorian family home with a wealth of original character, unusually large rooms and excellent storage, combined with important recent improvements including a beautiful two-year-old kitchen and dining space and two newly fitted bathrooms. A versatile and substantial home in a well-connected location, offering space, character and practicality in equal measure.
