Victorian six bedroom, two bathroom semi detached home, in the favored University / Hospital area, giving access to The Oracle / Riverside, station and many sought after schools. Substantial accommodation includes three reception rooms, enclosed walled gardens
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. Located just a short stroll from the University of Reading and the Royal Berkshire Hospital, the home is perfectly positioned for families and professionals seeking a peaceful residential setting without sacrificing proximity to the vibrant town centre.
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.

Stamp duty calculator provided by The Property Hive is intended to provide an estimate of the stamp duty land tax payable on a residential property purchase in England or Northern Ireland. However, the calculator is provided for general information purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional legal or tax advice. The actual amount of stamp duty payable may differ from the estimate provided by the calculator, depending on various factors such as the purchase price, the property type, and the buyer's circumstances.

Regulations require that we undertake identity and AML checks, and secure information on the circumstances of your purchase in line with our obligations to verify your identity and complete Customer Due diligence as part of you agreeing any offer with our client. These are dictated by regulation and enforced by trading standards. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks are carried out correctly and for ongoing monitoring, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or made an offer on a property you wish to buy that is provisionally agreeable to our client.
We have looked to provide benefits alongside undertaking these checks to ensure this is not an additional cost to you. These include complementary Lifetime Legal membership for 3 months, and where you use Chancellors Conveyancing services we have also arranged for this cost to include the AML/ Customer due diligence cost your solicitor would normally charge you for their regulated required checks. The cost of these checks is £80 plus VAT (£96 inc VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee is paid in advance, directly to Lifetime Legal and is non-refundable.
