2 Bedroom House - Terraced
Benefiting from an extensive refurbishment by the current owners, this beautifully presented, spacious two-bedroom stone-built mid-terrace offers a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional charm. With a stepped garden front, detached garage to the rear, and stylish interiors throughout, this home is ideal for those seeking a low-maintenance turnkey property in the heart of Read.
The property has undergone significant upgrades, including a full re-wire, new central heating system, replacement UPVC double-glazed windows and doors, and complete redecoration throughout, ensuring it is ready to move straight into. Ideal for first time buyers or investors looking for an easy buy-to-let option.
Upon entering, the hallway provides access to the first floor and leads into the dining room and living room. The dining room features a central gas fireplace with a marble and stone surround, complemented by alcove storage. The living room mirrors this style with a matching fireplace, a useful under-stairs storage cupboard, and ample space for lounge furniture. An open stepped design flows seamlessly into the kitchen.
At the rear of the property, the kitchen is fitted with shaker-style base and wall units paired with stained maple worktops. It comes complete with a Smeg four-ring gas hob and extractor, integrated fridge/freezer, Hotpoint electric oven, plumbing for a washing machine, and a wall-mounted Ideal combination boiler. An external door provides direct access to the rear yard.
Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to two well-appointed double bedrooms. The principal bedroom, situated to the front, benefits from a decorative cast-iron fireplace and a useful over-stairs storage cupboard. The second bedroom is a comfortable double, with both rooms recently redecorated and fitted with new carpets. The bathroom has been exquisitely finished with tiled floors and walls, a panelled bath with rainfall overhead shower, vanity porcelain wash basin, fitted shelving, and a dual-flush WC.
Externally, the property continues to impress. Stone steps lead to the front door with a walled garden area enhancing the home’s kerb appeal. To the rear, there is an initial decked seating area framed by high stone walls, opening onto a paved section that leads directly to a detached single garage. Complete with power, lighting, and an up-and-over door providing vehicular access from the rear alley, this adds exceptional convenience for storage, workshop or vehicular storage.
