The property is situated on the south side of Church Street, in a mixed use location within the popular and sought after village of Theale, Berkshire.
It lies within easy walking distance of many local amenities including shops, pubs, a primary school and Theale Railway Station. Reading town centre with its multiple facilities lies approximately 5.5 miles to the north east.

Services
We are advised that mains electricity, gas, water and drainage services are available in the vicinity for connection to the site. However, prospective purchasers are advised to make their own independent enquiries of the individual authorities to verify the capacity and availability of such services.
Planning
At present, no recent planning applications have been submitted for the development of the site.
However, pre-application advice was sought from the local planning authority in July 2016 (the report can be found in the Technical Information Pack). The report contains positive comments of the suggested conversion to 7x self-contained residential flats with associated car parking.
In October 2004, the property was granted planning consent for a rear extension “to accommodate additional multi-purpose office space/seminar facilities.” We believe the property still benefits from potential to undertake rear extension works, subject to planning.
