This bay-fronted Victorian end-of-terrace offers a compact, well-positioned two-bedroom home within easy walking distance of Reading mainline station and the Thames promenade. Neutral decor, a modern fitted kitchen and gas central heating make it move-in ready for many buyers. The low-maintenance enclosed rear garden and permit on-street parking suit a busy city lifestyle.
The layout works well for first-time buyers or couples: a front living/dining room with bay window, a practical kitchen to the rear, two double bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom with a freestanding shower cubicle. The property is being sold chain free, simplifying a quick purchase.
Be aware of clear negatives: the EPC is rated D and the solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than newer builds. The area records very high crime levels and a medium flooding risk — both important when considering insurance and security measures. The garden is small and the plot compact, so outdoor space is limited.
Overall this property suits a buyer seeking an affordable entry into central Reading with good transport links and period character. It also offers straightforward refurbishment potential (improved insulation, EPC uplift, security work) for those wanting to add value.
