This ground-floor Victorian maisonette combines period character with recent tasteful renovation, creating a ready-to-move-in home for first-time buyers seeking space and outdoor living. The property benefits from a private entrance, a generous 14' bay-front living room with original fireplace, and two double bedrooms that retain period proportions and high ceilings.
A standout feature is the expertly landscaped three-tiered rear garden — low-maintenance artificial lawn at the top, planted seating area below — offering private outdoor space for entertaining or relaxing. The modern kitchen/diner includes integrated appliances and a useful built-in cupboard; the bathroom is contemporary with a shower over the bath. Double glazing and gas central heating are fitted throughout.
Practical positives include a long 980-year lease with a share of the freehold, residents’ parking and off-street driveway space, and quick walks to West Reading station, local shops and Prospect Park. Broadband speeds are fast and council tax is low, supporting everyday convenience and connectivity.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation (typical of its era), which may affect energy performance and future improvement costs. Crime levels in the area are above average — relevant when considering security and insurance. The combination boiler is located in bedroom two, which may affect storage or layout preferences. The property is part of a small development with a modest maintenance charge (£62.50 pcm).
