Summary - 518 Essex Street, Reading, Berkshire, RG2 RG2 0EH
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Project-ready family home with garden and great transport links.
Chain free three-storey Victorian terraced house
A Victorian three-storey terraced house offered chain free, ideal for a first-time buyer or small family seeking space and scope. The property is freehold and sits close to local shops, varied dining, public transport and Reading town centre, with several well-regarded schools within easy reach.
The accommodation extends over three floors with flexible layout: ground-floor reception (or bedroom 4), separate dining room, kitchen and bathroom, two first-floor bedrooms and a further bedroom plus storage on the second floor. The house benefits from a private, enclosed rear garden and standard-height ceilings, retaining period character such as a bay window and fireplace.
Important practical points: the interior is dated and will require renovation and modernisation throughout; floors and finishes need updating. Parking is on-street by permit only and the plot is small. The property sits in a more deprived ward, though crime is low and broadband and mobile signals are strong. Vacant possession and the modest Council Tax Band B reduce immediate holding costs.
This home suits buyers looking for a reasonably priced project with good transport links and local amenities, or investors targeting rental income after refurbishment. Viewing is recommended to assess renovation scope and exact room proportions.
