Parkers Estate Agents says ..
PARKERS - Set on the hugely sought-after Orchard Close, this 3 bedroom detached bungalow comes to market with no onward chain and excellent potential to improve and extend (STPP). The property is set on an impressive plot of 0.144 acres, with a 68ft rear garden, and has a large garage.
Property Oracle says ..
This 3-bedroom detached bungalow in Tilehurst, Reading, offers a blend of attractive features and areas needing attention. The property’s location is a considerable asset, situated in a residential area close to highly-rated primary schools (Long Lane Primary, Downsway Primary, and Purley Cofe Primary) all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The nearby Brookfields Special School boasts an ‘Outstanding’ rating. Tilehurst train station is also within easy reach, offering convenient access to Reading and beyond.
The sizable garden is a major selling point, offering significant space for outdoor living and the potential to extend the property (subject to planning permission). The aerial views showcase the ample garden space. The property includes a garage and appears to offer adequate parking space.
However, the interior photos reveal a property that could benefit from modernisation and updating. The kitchen and bathroom appear somewhat dated, and the carpeting shows some wear. A prospective buyer should budget for improvements and renovations to fully realise the home’s potential.
Considering the location, garden size, and potential, the asking price appears reasonable, though some negotiation based on the cosmetic updates needed is likely possible. Detailed square footage information for comparable properties would be needed for a precise price-per-square-foot analysis.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
