Berkeley Avenue, Reading, RG1

Located on the South Western edge of Reading Town Centre is this imposing Victorian villa believed to date back to 1860. This unique property is steeped in history and was once used as overspill accommodation for the former Upcross Hotel. The property could be modernised to create a distinctive and grand family home in a convenient location or converted into four spacious character apartments with parking and communal grounds. The current owners have obtained planning for the conversion.
Set over three floors, the property boasts over 3000 sq. ft. of accommodation including, six bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms and a further ground floor bathroom. There is a large entry hall, a grand drawing room, two further reception rooms, kitchen, and utility room on the ground floor. There is a generous rear garden, as well as adequate frontage and three/four off road parking spaces to the side of the house accessed from Upcross Gardens. This wonderful and rarely available property offers a wealth of charm and retains many original features including, period fireplaces, ornate cornicing and high ceilings.
The planning permission can be utilised to create an exclusive development, either to convert and sell or retain and let as an excellent addition to a rental portfolio. Alternatively, there is potential to adjust the planning to either add secondary accommodation to a family home or even create a large HMO (House of Multiple Occupation). This unique period property offers a wealth of opportunity either for someone to live in, for investment or to develop and is for sale with no chain complications. Early viewings are advised.
