A substantial period home in a highly desirable location within half a mile of a wealth of amenities including Reading University, shops and parks with central Reading approximately 15 minutes away by bus. Holly House is the major wing on an early Victorian detached house which was sympathetically divided in the 1970's. The property has been considerably improved in the last few years with a stunning kitchen/breakfast/family room overlooking both gardens, further generously proportioned rooms with high ceilings and great character include an entrance hall, 2 principal reception rooms, cloakroom, utility room, two huge first floor bedrooms, beautifully re-fitted 4 pc bathroom with soaking bath, large top floor with two further bedrooms and a re-fitted shower room (easily used as a semi self contained flat). The property enjoys a superb, private, south west facing front garden which is entered via double gates with ample driveway parking and a double width garage. There is an attractive courtyard to the side. This charming, highly individual family home has to be viewed to be appreciated.
