Tucked on a quiet stretch of Western Road, this Victorian mid-terrace offers a compact, well-presented home ideal for a first-time buyer or couple working in Reading. The house is offered with no onward chain and feels ready to move into, with two double bedrooms (one with en-suite), two reception rooms and a practical downstairs cloakroom. A small private rear garden and patio provide an outdoor suntrap for summer barbecues.
At about 577 sq ft the accommodation is modest but efficiently arranged. Original solid-brick walls and period character give the house charm, though the fabric reflects its age: there is likely little cavity insulation and future buyers may wish to budget for thermal upgrades. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; glazing is double glazed (install date unknown).
Location is a clear strength: Reading West station is around a 10-minute walk and the town centre reachable on foot in roughly 25 minutes. Local buses on Tilehurst Road and Bath Road add quick commuting options. On-street parking is available without a permit, but this is not private off-street parking.
Practical considerations are set out plainly: the property is small in overall size, sits in an area with above-average crime statistics, and being a Victorian mid-terrace may require ongoing maintenance typical of older homes. For buyers prioritising proximity to transport, a ready-to-live-in finish and period character, this home represents an accessible entry into Reading property at a competitive price point.
