For investors or cash buyers seeking a short-completion opportunity in central Reading, this vacant two-bedroom mid-terrace offers clear upside through refurbishment. The property is being sold by online auction with a six-week completion window, allowing a quick turnaround for renovation and re-letting or resale.
Built before 1900, the house retains period character such as a Victorian fireplace and traditional brickwork. Accommodation comprises two reception rooms, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom within about 534 sq ft, and benefits from double glazing (install date unknown) and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Key positives include a freehold title, central location close to Reading town centre and mainline rail links, and no reported flood risk. Material issues are straightforward: the property requires full modernisation, likely upgrading of insulation and services (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated), and the area shows above-average crime and higher deprivation—factors to consider for rental demand and insurance costs.
This is a renovation-led prospect with a low council tax band and good transport connections to Paddington, the Elizabeth Line and the M4. Buyers should allow budget for refurbishment works and factor the auction sale terms and six-week completion into their timetable.
