Owners Comments...
We moved into our home on Gloucester Avenue in 2008, just in time to enjoy Christmas there, and spent eight very happy years before relocating. It was a wonderful place to call home, and when we moved away, we decided to keep the property as an investment. Since then, the same family has happily rented the house for the past ten years, which we feel says a great deal about both the house and the area.
One of the things we loved most was the location. Gloucester Avenue is a quiet, leafy road with a friendly neighbourhood feel, making it a lovely place to come home to. Shinfield has grown over the years while still retaining its village atmosphere, with excellent local schools, parks, shops and cafés all within easy reach. The property is also perfectly placed for commuters, with easy access to Reading town centre, Green Park, the M4 and excellent rail connections into London.
The house itself has always been incredibly practical and adaptable. Arranged over three floors, it offers three spacious bedrooms, with the additional room on the middle floor providing the flexibility to be used as a fourth bedroom, an office, a playroom or a lounge, depending on how you choose to use the extra room downstairs. One of our favourite features has always been having a bathroom on every floor, which makes everyday family life so much easier and is especially useful when friends and family come to stay.
Outside, the generous driveway has been another real benefit. Parking for at least three cars is something that's increasingly difficult to find, and it has always made life that little bit more convenient. The garden and large kitchen diner have made entertaining easy and fun and we have enjoyed barbecues and dining outside on the patio. The house also enjoys a pleasant setting within this attractive residential road, creating a peaceful environment while remaining close to everything you need. Our children loved playing in the quiet little park in front of the house, as did the children of the family that has been living there.
Looking back, what stands out most is how comfortable and welcoming the house has always felt. It was a fantastic family home for us, and the fact that our tenants chose to stay for a full decade reflects just how enjoyable it is to live here. We leave with many happy memories and hope the next owners will create many of their own in this special home.

If you're looking for a really cool home, this one is definitely worth a look. This good-looking semi-detached house has a lot to offer and gives you loads of flexible living space to suit your lifestyle.
Although it's officially a three-bedroom home, the layout is really versatile. As you walk in, you're welcomed by a handy downstairs W.C., and then you've got a snug, home office or even a fourth bedroom if that's what you need. Across the back of the house is the real heart of the home, a fantastic open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that opens straight onto the garden, making it perfect for family life, entertaining or simply relaxing.
On the first floor you'll find the official lounge, which is lovely and bright thanks to its two windows, along with the main bedroom complete with its own en-suite. Head up to the top floor and you'll discover two more generous double bedrooms, plus a modern family bathroom.
Outside, there's plenty to get excited about too. At the front you've got driveway parking, a garage and handy side access to the garden. The garden itself is really wide, giving you loads of outdoor space and fantastic potential to extend (STPP).
To top it all off, the property is offered with no onward chain, it's clean, tidy and ready to move straight into. If you're after a home that's flexible, spacious and packed with potential, this could be the one for you.

Gloucester Avenue is tucked away in the ever-popular village of Shinfield, offering a great mix of village charm and everyday convenience. Everything you need is close by, with local shops, cafés, takeaways and a post office all within easy reach, making day-to-day life nice and simple.
It's a fantastic spot for families too, with highly regarded schools nearby, plenty of green open spaces and parks to enjoy, and lots of countryside walks right on your doorstep. Whether you're heading out for a dog walk, a weekend stroll or just fancy some fresh air, there are plenty of scenic routes to explore.
If you need to commute, you're well connected. Regular bus services run into Reading and Wokingham, while the M4 and Green Park Station are both just a short drive away, making travel in and out of the area easy.
When it's time to relax, you'll find a great selection of welcoming pubs, restaurants and local favourites nearby, all adding to the friendly community feel that makes Shinfield such a popular place to call home.
