Summary - 53 SALISBURY ROAD READING RG30 1BW
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free Victorian terrace with garden — ideal for first-time buyers ready to renovate.
Three bedrooms and two reception rooms, approximately 1,086 sq ft
A traditional three-bedroom Victorian terrace offered chain-free and ready for new owners to personalise. The house provides a clear layout across two reception rooms, kitchen plus lean-to, and three bedrooms upstairs — practical for first-time buyers seeking space without a long completion chain. The enclosed rear garden and outbuilding add storage and outdoor space on a small urban plot.
The property sits close to local amenities, schools and Reading town centre, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters and home-workers. At around 1,086 sq ft the home feels larger than many terraces in the area and is freehold, with affordable council tax (Band C).
Buyers should budget for updating and some repairs. The exterior is dated and the property likely lacks wall insulation (solid brick construction). Double glazing was installed before 2002 and systems such as heating are mains-gas boiler and radiators; overall maintenance and modernisation will be required to improve comfort and efficiency. The neighbourhood has higher crime levels and local area deprivation, which may affect resale timing and rental yields.
This is a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer wanting space to grow into, or an investor prepared to upgrade. Viewing is recommended to assess scope for improvement and to appreciate the house’s layout and garden in person.
