Carey Street, Reading, RG1

Set within the Castle Hill Conservation Area and within walking distance of Reading mainline station and the town centre, this attractive period home offers considerably more space and versatility than its frontage might suggest. Arranged over three levels and offered with no onward chain, it is a home well suited to modern family life, professional sharers or anyone looking for generous accommodation in a genuinely central location.

The ground floor combines a comfortable front living room with a spacious kitchen/dining room made for everyday meals and relaxed entertaining. A separate utility room keeps the practical side of life neatly contained and offers the potential to reinstate the former WC and wash basin, creating a useful ground-floor cloakroom. Below, the lit and heated cellar is divided into two areas, providing more than simple storage and offering possibilities for hobbies, a workshop or occasional home working.

Upstairs are three individually accessed double bedrooms, giving everyone their own properly proportioned space. The principal bedroom has a private en-suite, while a separate shower room serves the remaining bedrooms. This flexible arrangement works equally well for a family, guests or those needing a dedicated office without sacrificing a bedroom.

One of the property’s most useful and unusual features is the covered outer hall, which provides direct access from the front of the house to the rear garden. Rarely found in a terraced home, it creates excellent space for bicycles, a motorbike, pushchairs and outdoor equipment without bringing them through the living accommodation. The enclosed rear garden is private and low maintenance, with artificial lawn and room for outdoor seating and dining.

Fast services to London Paddington, the Elizabeth line and connections across the wider rail network make this an especially appealing home for commuters, while its generous and adaptable accommodation ensures it offers far more than location alone.fencing ensure a secluded atmosphere, while the front garden offers additional outdoor appeal with its low-maintenance design and gated access.
