Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished, period family home with scale, character, and provenance. Kingsdown House has been cherished by the same family since the 1950s and occupies a commanding position on a tree-lined avenue within a Conservation Area. Set behind gated railings with a private driveway, the striking two-storey bay façade and recessed porch create an impressive first impression. Inside, a mosaic-tiled entrance hall leads to beautifully proportioned reception rooms across three floors, complemented by a cellar. Period features including high ceilings, original fireplaces, and architectural detailing have been carefully preserved. The ground floor offers a formal drawing room, separate dining room, garden-facing living room with wood-burning stove and French doors, and a dedicated study. The kitchen/breakfast room includes a traditional pantry, with a separate laundry/shower/WC adding practical family flexibility. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms include a principal suite with dressing room, while the top floor provides two further bedrooms and an additional dressing room, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. The private easterly-facing walled garden is mature and enclosed, featuring established planting, a greenhouse, and workshop, perfect for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment. Ideally located within walking distance of the Royal Berkshire Hospital, University campus, and Reading town centre with mainline train links to London. Nearby the riverside restaurants of the Oracle centre and shops, and excellent state and independent schools complete the picture. Offered with no onward chain, Kingsdown House represents a rare chance to secure a substantial period residence in one of Reading’s most sought-after addresses.
