About this home
Tucked away within a pleasant private development off Bulmershe Road, Oaklands combines spacious interiors with lush communal gardens. Established trees, green spaces and winding pathways give the grounds a distinctive charm, providing an inviting setting to come home to. Your own front door opens to an entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor. The accommodation unfolds across two main levels, separating the living spaces from the bedrooms and giving the home a practical, comfortable layout. The generously proportioned living room enjoys large windows and a leafy outlook. There is space to create a sociable seating area alongside a dedicated home-working corner, allowing the room to accommodate both busy weekdays and relaxed evenings. A door leads through to the separate kitchen/diner, where fitted cabinetry, worktops and appliances are complemented by space for a dining table. It is a room for everyday meals, weekend breakfasts and catching up with friends. Meter and boiler cupboards provide additional practical storage. Upstairs, the landing serves two double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, and a generous single bedroom. This flexible arrangement works equally well for a family, a couple wanting separate workspaces, or buyers looking for a guest room and space for a hobby. The bathroom includes a bath with a glazed screen, basin, WC and heated towel rail, with a frosted window bringing in natural light. Outside, residents benefit from off-road parking and maintained communal gardens, while a separate outdoor storage cupboard adds useful space for everyday belongings. The surrounding University area is one of Reading’s established residential neighbourhoods, with a mix of period and modern homes, leafy roads and nearby conservation areas. Local amenities include shops, parks, gardens, sports facilities and Reading Bowling Club, alongside schools, Reading College, the Royal Berkshire Hospital and the University of Reading. The location also merits consideration for those travelling to employment centres such as Green Park, Thames Valley Park and Winnersh Triangle. The current owner is progressing a lease extension to add a further 90 years to the existing term. Combined with its generous proportions and adaptable layout, this makes Oaklands a home well worth exploring in person.
