8 bedroom detached house for sale

For sale by Auction on Thursday 26th March. A rare opportunity to create a landmark riverside home with 47ft of direct frontage onto the River Thames, set within a generous 0.37 acre plot just moments from the centre of Caversham. Extending to approximately 4,903 sq ft, the property was originally built as two semi-detached houses and later combined to form a substantial residence. Now requiring extensive refurbishment to make it habitable, it offers exceptional scope for comprehensive renovation and remodelling (subject to the necessary consents) to deliver a striking contemporary riverside home. The current layout includes six bedrooms and two generous reception rooms, both opening onto balconies overlooking the south-facing garden and enjoying views across the Thames. In addition, there is also a 2 bedroom annexe situated beneath the driveway area and accessed via the front garden. Quietly positioned on The Warren, a prestigious country lane on the fringes of the Mapledurham Estate, the setting perfectly balances riverside tranquillity with excellent connectivity. Caversham and Reading provide extensive shopping, dining and leisure facilities, along with fast rail services to London Paddington (from around 25 minutes) and the Elizabeth Line, plus convenient access to the M4 (J10). Well regarded schools, including The Oratory, Reading Blue Coat, Reading School, Kendrick, The Abbey and Queen Anne’s, are within easy reach, while the surrounding South Oxfordshire countryside offers miles of scenic walking and riding. A compelling opportunity in one of the area’s most sought-after locations, combining town, river and countryside living.
