Farmer & Dyer says ..
A particularly SPACIOUS and highly sought after detached three bedroom family bungalow with additional ANNEXE facilities and conservatory, set in a wide, level and SECLUDED PLOT requiring some modernisation. Peacefully situated in a favoured cul-de-sac on the fringes of Mapledurham playing fields...
Property Oracle says ..
This three-bedroom detached bungalow in Caversham Heights, Reading, presents a compelling opportunity for a buyer seeking a family home in a desirable location. Situated on Knowle Close, it benefits from its proximity to outstanding primary schools like The Heights Primary School (just 0.27km away) and enjoys easy access to the Mapledurham playing fields. Reading West station is also within a relatively convenient 2.44km radius.
The property itself is a spacious bungalow, offering ample living space including a conservatory, suggesting plenty of natural light. However, the provided photographs indicate an interior style that is decidedly dated. Significant upgrades and modernization will likely be necessary to update the property’s appearance and functionality to meet current market expectations. The kitchen and bathrooms could benefit from modernisation and the extensive use of older styling and materials is prominent throughout the interior.
The property includes a notable amount of garden space for the area. Though needing some maintenance and landscaping, the garden offers good potential for future development and provides a pleasant outdoor setting. The inclusion of what appears to be an annexe or additional structure provides some additional versatility.
Given the location and potential, the asking price of £775,000 reflects the current market in Caversham Heights. Potential buyers should be prepared to budget for renovation costs. Overall, this property is suitable for buyers who appreciate the potential of a large family home in a highly sought after area but who are willing to put in the time and funds required for modernisation.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
