Nestled within the prestigious Christchurch Conservation Area, this substantial six-bedroom period residence offers a rare combination of historic character and expansive living space, totalling approximately 2,723 square feet. The property stands as a fine example of the grand Victorian architecture synonymous with this sought-after pocket of Reading, featuring the high ceilings and generous proportions typical of the era.

The internal accommodation is arranged over multiple storeys, providing exceptional versatility for modern family life or multi-generational living. The ground floor opens into an impressive hallway leading to formal reception rooms that retain a sense of traditional elegance, while the upper floors house six well-proportioned bedrooms. The sheer scale of the property, which is significantly larger than the average home in the area, allows for a variety of configurations, including dedicated home offices or hobby rooms, all while maintaining a comfortable sense of space and privacy for every occupant.
Externally, the property is situated on a charming, tree-lined street known for its distinctive polychrome brickwork and architectural significance. Residents of Christchurch Gardens benefit from being within easy walking distance of The Oracle shopping complex and Reading Mainline Station, providing fast and frequent rail links to London Paddington. This home represents a unique opportunity to acquire a landmark property in one of the town’s most established and respected residential enclaves, offering the perfect balance of heritage charm and urban convenience.
Why have we liked living here and why you might too:
The house itself has big airy rooms with high ceilings. Every window is double glazed, and we had a new insulated roof a few years ago (important for a Victorian House!). There is off-street parking for 3 cars and a lovely mature private walled back garden with a pergola, greenhouse a big shed and other outside storage.
A key factor is its perfect location being midway between Reading town centre and the M4. It is on a bus route, and you can take a bus into town or walk it in 15 minutes. We have handy local shops round the corner and two big supermarkets just 5 minutes away. For families, it is in walking distance to local schools, both state and private.
