This 1920's built detached family home was built in the 'Arts & Crafts' style synonymous with gabled roofs, wood framing, light and airy rooms and styling. Having undergone numerous improvements over the years the property benefits from granted planning permission dated 2021 (application number 211422) that includes ground and first floor extensions and a redesign to the ground floor to principally create a large kitchen/family/breakfast room. The property benefits from the existing five bedroom accommodation including four reception rooms, the part converted garage incorporates a large office, walk in pantry and utility room while the property occupies wide, level and secluded gardens with a delightful south westerly aspect. To the front is a large block paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles.

Caversham is situated just north of the River Thames, offering a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants, together with excellent schooling. Reading Station servicing London (Paddington 25 minutes) is within half a mile of Caversham Bridge and has been further complemented with the arrival of Crossrail.
