A note from the owners
What we loved about 64 Gravel Hill when we bought it over 10 years ago & how we have improved it for ours and our families needs
The perfect location, 10 mins to both Reading & Henley. Gavin commuted into London at the time, so easy access to Reading station was vital. It’s walkable & cycleable, as well as regular bus services or taxis.
Most of our social & family life happens in and around Caversham and Henley, so the location is perfect.
I love to walk everyday, The Hemdean Valley and its wide open walks are just yards from the house. Regular routes include walking around and across all 3 local golf courses.
The interior aspects that I fell in love with were the master suite, and the mezzanine as I always wanted to live in a house with 2 staircases.
Gavin dressed as Santa on the mezzanine have provided 10 magical Christmas Eve’s for our grandchildren.
We’ve enhanced the bare bones that we bought by installing a luxury kitchen with top quality appliances, transforming two small dark seperate rooms into a single bright entertianing space.
Refurbished all the bathrooms. Replaced the tired decking with a beautiful porcelain tiled patio providing the perfect outdoor entertaining space.

High end appliances in the kitchen & utility room inc. double drawer fridge, double oven, dishwasher drawers, four ring induction hob, boiling water tap, wine fridge, washing machine, tumble dryer & built in
