Kiel's View-
I love homes with stories and Recreation Road has plenty to tell.
This three-bedroom semi-detached period home has been the family home for years, filled with character and warmth from the moment you walk in. You’ll spot the bay windows, high ceilings, open fireplace, and even the height markers on the wall that chart years of family memories — it’s a home that’s been lived in and loved.
Now, it’s ready for its next chapter. The property offers huge potential for modernisation and extension (subject to the usual planning permissions) whether that’s to the side, rear or into the loft, which already benefits from a Velux window. For those in the trades, or anyone looking to take on a project with great bones, this is a rare opportunity.
Outside, the garden stretches well over 130ft, beautifully nurtured and full of charm with ponds, mature planting and sizable outbuildings that could easily become a studio, workshop or home office. For green fingers, it’s a dream; for creatives, it’s a blank canvas.
There’s also driveway parking, a dual-aspect living/dining room, and of course, no onward chain making this the perfect project to get started on straight away.
This is a home ready to be transformed — not just renovated, but reimagined.
Three bedrooms. Period features. Big garden. Endless potential. Tilehurst. Reading.
Area View-
Recreation Road sits in a peaceful pocket of Tilehurst, Reading, a much-loved family area known for its community feel, excellent schools, and green spaces.
You’re within easy reach of Prospect Park, one of Reading’s largest and most popular open spaces, perfect for walks, play areas and weekend strolls. Arthur Newbery Park and McIlroy Park Nature Reserve are also close by for those who enjoy nature and outdoor space.
There are highly regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, including Wilson Primary, St Michael’s Primary, and Prospect School, making this a brilliant area for families.
Tilehurst village centre offers a great range of local shops, cafés, and independent businesses, while Reading town centre is only a 10-minute drive or short bus ride away, offering major retail, dining, and entertainment options — as well as Reading Station, where the Elizabeth Line provides direct access to London Paddington, Bond Street and Canary Wharf.
With its blend of period charm, peaceful surroundings and huge potential, Recreation Road is perfectly placed for anyone looking to put down roots in one of Reading’s most family-friendly neighbourhoods.
