DESCRIPTION/LOCATION : A stylish detached house believed to date from the early 1970s and the first time on the market for almost 40 years. The Warren is a most exclusive address and features some of the finest property in the county. The local shopping centre of Caversham is about 1.25 miles, whilst the main shops of the County Town of Reading are about 2.5 miles.

The convenience of the setting is a principal feature. For the commuter Reading railway station (which is currently undergoing a ?450,000,000 redevelopment) offers services into London (Paddington and Waterloo), the Midlands, the North of England and Scotland, the West of England and Wales; the 125 service into London taking from 27 minutes. There are three M4 motorway junctions around Reading with J11 via the A33 being the most accessible providing a direct route to Heathrow Airport, the M25 and Central London. There is good access to the M40 via the M4 and Marlow Bypass and the M25.

In addition to the benefits of the immediate setting and its strategic location, Tideway is also well located for a range of first-class schools in both the state and private sector, and these include Queen Anne's School in Caversham.

The house was built in the early 1970s and purchased by the most recent owner in about 1976. It has been extended at the back to enhance the views over the river. It is probably fair to comment the accommodation is a little tired and a purchaser will wish to replace the once highly-regarded Hygena fitted kitchen, and also the colourful sanitary ware. However this will be a minor consideration for the buyer seeking a property in a generally peaceful setting with river frontage and yet so convenient for local and further afield amenities.
