Grove House - An elegant and spacious family home in a sought-after area, with a third of an acre of mature gardens.
Accommodation - Built in the 1920s, and one of the original houses in this popular road, Grove House has been extended and upgraded over the years. It is now a wonderful family home with large, light rooms, original polished flooring and plaster coving, high ceilings and tall sash windows in the Queen Anne style. There is a gracious sitting room with wood burning stove, bay window and doors to the terrace and garden, a formal dining room with butler's dresser, a spacious fitted kitchen/breakfast room with sitting area, a utility room and cloakroom.
Upstairs, the main bedroom has a dressing room and en-suite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and a family bathroom.
Outside - To the front of the property is a spacious gravelled parking area and access to the garage. Well-tended hedges give great privacy and screen the house from the road. The rear garden is unusually large being just over a third of an acre. There is a paved terrace accessed from the sitting room providing a sunny location for outdoor dining. A large expanse of level lawn is edged by old roses, bushes and shrubs for privacy and seclusion. There are richly planted herbaceous borders filled with perennials giving a lovely year round display. Mature trees edge the garden and include a magnificent Copper Beech, Scots Pine and Lime.
Situation - Grove House is located on one of the premier roads in Caversham Heights. Standing amongst other established detached properties, there is easy access to public transport to Caversham village which has a range of individual shops, restaurants and cafes as well as a Waitrose supermarket. The centre of Reading can be accessed easily by car, bicycle or on foot along the many footpaths where there are rail connections to London, Paddington (from 25 minutes) via the Elizabeth Line to the City and West End.
The A329(M) spur link gives access to the M4 at J10 leading to the M25, London, Heathrow Airport and the West Country. The nearby towns of Henley, Maidenhead, Windsor and Reading provide a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and recreational facilities.
The area is well served for schools, including (very close by) the popular Heights primary school as well as Caversham Primary, The Oratory, Bluecoat, Reading, Kendrick, The Abbey and Queen Anne's in Caversham. The nearby countryside offers miles of extensive walking and riding, especially along the riverside paths.

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
