This Victorian mid-terrace in central Caversham offers period charm and practical town-centre living. The house has original features, high ceilings and a south-facing rear garden that catches afternoon sun — ideal for family outdoor time or a small urban garden. At about 927 sq ft, the layout suits a small family or first-time buyers seeking space for home working and easy commuting.
The location is a major asset: roughly 15 minutes' walk to Reading mainline station with fast connections to London, plus nearby shops, Waitrose, doctors and Thameside Primary School. Christchurch Meadows and the Thames towpath are within easy reach for weekend walks and cycling. Broadband and mobile signal are strong for remote work and streaming.
Internally the property is functional but will suit buyers prepared to modernise. The kitchen is a galley style with direct garden access; there is one bathroom and a separate WC. The house is offered as a freehold terrace with an average-sized plot and small enclosed garden — maintenance and some updating are likely to be needed to raise fittings and decor to contemporary standards.
Practical considerations: parking is on-street by permit, council tax is Band C, and local crime levels are above average. There is no flood risk. For buyers seeking a period property in a highly convenient location, this house balances central living and future improvement potential.
