This area of land is Lot 2 of 3, located on Upper Redlands Road. Sold as a garden plot adjacent to Lot 1 which has the benefit of planning permission. See details below.

Lot 1 - Discover this very rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a prime site with the benefit of planning permission for a bespoke property that has been designed with the very best of entertainment and family life in mind. Located in the sought after University area of Reading this proposed property exudes quality and space, with a total floor area of 339.04 sq.m (3,649 sq.ft) Gross Internal Area.

Whilst first impressions are suitably impressive, the wow-factor does not stop at the front door but rather it continues as you explore the extensive ground floor layout (199.01 sq.m). Walk past your large private office (40.82 sq.m) and the property opens-up into the bright open-plan living space that leads onto the kitchen and dining area (46.21 sq.m) that are reminiscent of a premium restaurant or boutique hotel. Bathed in light, this is the perfect place to entertain and it is here that the outdoors and indoor flow together as you step out from your kitchen and onto your beautiful terrace.

If relaxation is what you need, then relax in the sunken living area (17.59 sq.m) and read a book over a coffee or retreat completely in the snug / media room (25.79 sq.m). On the upper floors, there are 5 stunning double bedrooms: three of which have ensuites.

To the west and south of the consented plot are two further plots. These may be used as garden for the principal property but they may also have development potential subject to the usual consents.

The separate Lots are as follows:
Lot 1 (Upper Redlands Road - House Plot): 0.113 hectares (0.278 acres).
Lot 2 (Redlands Road - Garden Plot): 0.060 hectares (0.149 acres).
