Set in Reading’s Conservation Area and just over half a mile from Reading Station, this attractive Victorian mid-terrace combines period character with contemporary updates. A smartly refitted kitchen/dining room and modern bathroom give immediate move-in comfort, while original features such as a fireplace add charm. The layout spans lower-ground, ground and first floors, making efficient use of a compact urban footprint.
The house will suit first-time buyers or commuters seeking a low-maintenance town-centre base with fast links to London and local amenities on the doorstep. The rear garden is private and easy to manage; the paved forecourt enhances kerb appeal. EPC C and mains gas central heating provide reasonable running costs for this age of property.
Buyers should note the property is modest in overall size with relatively low ceilings in places and a lower-ground bedroom, which may feel darker than upper rooms. The original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and could mean higher retrofit costs if improved thermal performance is required. The area has above-average crime statistics, so purchasers who prioritise security should consider appropriate measures.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful urban home offering a convenient commuter location and contemporary fixtures. It represents good value for buyers who prioritise centrality and low-maintenance living, and who are comfortable with a compact terraced layout and potential future insulation upgrades.
