South Street, Reading, RG4

There aren't many places where forgetting the milk is a 90-second walk, Sunday coffee becomes an artisan market stroll, and your commute to London starts through Christchurch Meadows rather than a car park. At 17 South Street, you get both the character of a Victorian end-terrace and one of the most convenient locations in Caversham. Step outside and you're just moments from Waitrose, the independent cafés, restaurants and shops of the Caversham precinct, with the popular artisan market bringing the area to life every Sunday. For commuters, the walk through Christchurch Meadows and across the pedestrian bridge to Reading mainline station makes travelling into London refreshingly straightforward. Inside, the accommodation is arranged in a traditional '2+1' layout, giving you flexibility that many homes of this style don't offer. The third room leads from the principal bedroom and could work equally well as a home office, dressing room, nursery etc. For buyers looking to add value, there is also the potential to reconfigure the first floor to create an upstairs bathroom, subject to any necessary consents. The cosy living room is centred around a wood-burning stove, while the separate dining room flows directly into the kitchen, creating a sociable layout that works perfectly for hosting friends and family. Beyond, the peaceful, well-proportioned rear garden provides a welcome retreat from the pace of the day. One of the reasons so many people choose Caversham is the balance it offers. While Reading town centre and the station are within easy reach, you're also on the doorstep of beautiful countryside. Whether your weekends involve a run along the River Thames, cycling through the Chiltern foothills, rowing on the river, or fitting in a gym session or fitness class nearby, it's an area that makes an active lifestyle easy to maintain. This is a home that will particularly appeal to young professionals, first-time buyers and couples who want to enjoy everything Caversham has to offer without sacrificing easy access to Reading town centre or fast rail connections to London. With riverside walks, green open spaces and excellent everyday amenities all within walking distance, it's easy to see why homes in this location are so consistently sought after. NB: Upon an offer being accepted on this property, each buyer will need to undergo Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Checks at a cost of £30 person, payable directly to the third party company, Kotini.
