Tilehurst: A village within the town

Nestled in the Royal County of Berkshire, Tilehurst is a picturesque suburb located three miles of Reading, but a village within a town. Its scenic landscape stretches from the River Thames in the north to the A4 in the south. Steeped in history dating back to the 13th Century, Tilehurst has evolved from a hamlet of Reading Abbey to a thriving community of over 16,000 residents spread across 11 square miles. Today, it strikes a balance between suburban tranquillity and urban accessibility making it a sought-after enclove for families and commuters alike.

Local Amenities: Tilehurst boasts a vibrant array of amenities that cater to the diverse needs of its residents. The heart of the suburb, known as Tilehurst Triangle, houses a variety of shops, local businesses, two popular pubs, Park Lane primary school, a local library, and the Methodist church. Additionally, the area is rich in educational opportunities, with a range of well-regarded primary and secondary schools serving the community. Healthcare needs are well-covered, with medical practices, pharmacies, and dental clinics readily accessible.

A Sign of Home: Tilehurst is renowned for its distinctive landmarks and historical sites. The Tilehurst Water Tower, an architectural gem from the 1930s, stands tall as a symbol of the area's heritage, and for many years, a sign you were nearly home once seen on the M4. St. Michael's church, with parts dating back to the 13th century, adds to the charm and character of the suburb. Additionally, Tilehurst's rich history is reflected in the architecture, ranging from quaint thatched cottages to late 20th-century housing estates, showcasing a blend of tradition and modernity.

Property Market:  The housing market in Tilehurst offers a diverse range of options, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces built with bricks from local kilns to semi-detached residences that have become emblematic of the area. The suburb has seen steady growth, particularly after World War II, with new housing developments meeting the demand for comfortable family homes, more palatial properties including, but not limited to Oak Tree Road, Halls Lane, Long Lane and the like. With its scenic surroundings, excellent transport links, and a wide array of amenities, Tilehurst continues to be an appealing destination for those seeking a harmonious blend of community living and urban convenience.

Mark Heneghan's advice has been invaluable in assisting my family sell our late uncle's house. I would highly recommend him as a local property expert and certainly recommend Mark to anyone wishing to sell their home.
