Summary - Greenfields Road, Reading, RG2 RG2 8SF
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Ready-to-live two-bed with parking and extension potential.
- Extended semi-detached on a generous corner plot
A well-proportioned two-bedroom semi-detached home on a generous corner plot in South Reading, presented in good, move-in condition. Recent upgrades include UPVC double glazing, a composite front door and a modern gas combination boiler, making the property efficient and straightforward to occupy from day one. The layout offers a 15ft living room, separate 10ft dining room with sliding doors to the rear garden, a fitted kitchen with integrated oven and hob, and a fully tiled ground-floor bathroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms.
The corner plot delivers practical extras: off-street gravel parking for several vehicles and a private rear garden with patio and lawn. There is clear scope to extend (subject to planning permission), providing realistic potential to add space and value for those wanting to create a larger family home or improve rental yield. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local primary schools have good ratings.
Be realistic about the location: the wider area is urban with an ethnically mixed community, above-average recorded crime and local deprivation indicators. The nearby secondary school has an Inadequate Ofsted rating, which may concern families seeking top-performing local secondary options. The house itself is mid-20th century construction with filled cavity walls and appears structurally typical for its age; any extension will require the usual planning and building approvals.
Overall, this property suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable, ready-to-live-in home with practical parking and extension potential, or investors targeting reliable rental demand in a well-connected area close to the M4. It offers a sensible balance of immediate usability and modest scope for future improvement.
