3 Bedroom Detached House

A Truly Unique Grade II Listed Detached Home in the Heart of Reading.

Perfectly positioned on one of Reading’s most attractive tree-lined roads, and just half a mile from Reading town centre, the mainline station and The Oracle Riverside, East Lodge is a remarkable Grade II listed detached residence offering an exceptional combination of history, charm and convenience.

Dating back to 1810, this former gatehouse was originally built as part of the prestigious Coley House estate and designed by the renowned architect Daniel Asher Alexander. Beautifully preserved and sympathetically updated by the current owner, the property effortlessly combines period character with stylish modern living.

The well-presented accommodation comprises three bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, a beautifully appointed modern kitchen, contemporary bathroom, and a welcoming living and dining room centred around a character fireplace with a working log burner - the perfect place to unwind on winter evenings. A dedicated home office provides an ideal space for remote working.

Outside, the property enjoys delightful wraparound landscaped gardens, creating a private oasis just moments from the vibrant town centre. A generous 28m² detached garden studio, complete with power, lighting and acoustic treatment, offers outstanding versatility as a music studio, creative workspace, gym or home office. A pergola, patio seating area, large shed and wood store further enhance the outdoor space, making it perfect for both entertaining and everyday living.

Homes of this calibre and historical significance rarely come to market. Whether you’re a professional couple, downsizer or family seeking a distinctive period home with excellent transport links and outstanding amenities on the doorstep, East Lodge represents a genuinely unique opportunity to own a piece of Reading’s history.
