Coming to the market for the first time since the 1960s, 8 Diddenham Cottages is a well-loved, two-bedroom semi-detached home that has been in the same family for over 60 years. Full of character, potential, and history, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a home with space to grow and personalise.

Current Owner Loves - “For me, it was always ‘home sweet home.’ I felt so safe there, and I made some of my happiest memories watching the sunsets from the garden. It’s a place filled with calm, charm, and potential.”

Set on a generous plot with open views to the rear and an extra-wide driveway, the property is ideal for those looking to renovate, extend, or develop (subject to planning permission). It’s offered with no onward chain, ready for its next chapter.

Inside, the front reception room features an open fireplace, while the open-plan kitchen/dining area is perfect for family living or entertaining. A downstairs WC adds practical convenience.

Upstairs are two good-sized double bedrooms and a spacious four-piece bathroom, complete with separate bath and shower.

Outside, the home boasts a large driveway with space for 3+ vehicles, a brick and tile outbuilding, and a generous side plot offering scope for a side extension, annex, or even a separate dwelling (subject to planning). The west-facing garden enjoys beautiful open skies and sunset views, backing onto adjacent open land.

For commuters, the location is ideal — with direct access to the M4 and A33, and Mereoak Park & Ride just under 3 miles away, offering fast routes into central Reading. Mortimer train station is nearby, providing links to Reading, Basingstoke, and London Waterloo. Local schools in Grazeley and Mortimer are easily accessible.
