Summary - 36 NEWPORT ROAD READING RG1 8EA
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Period character, near Reading station, with garden and renovation potential.
Three bedrooms with two reception rooms; bay-windowed principal room
Set just a short walk from Reading station and close to Caversham, this three-bedroom Victorian terrace combines period character with practical city living. The principal reception room benefits from a bay window and good natural light; two reception rooms give flexibility for a home office or family space. The kitchen/breakfast room is stylish with hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances and French doors to a modest private garden — a rare find near the town centre.
The house is solid-brick construction from the early 20th century and has double glazing and a modern bathroom. Heating is gas boiler and radiators; broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting remote working and streaming. The property is freehold, about 869 sq ft, and council tax is described as affordable, which helps running costs for families or first-time buyers.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the terrace sits in an inner-city area with higher-than-average crime levels, and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation — there may be potential to improve energy efficiency. On-street permit parking only. The plot is small, so outdoor space is limited but manageable for gardening or children’s play.
This home will suit buyers seeking convenient commuter access, good local schools and period features to retain or enhance. It offers immediate move-in capability with scope to add value through modest updating or insulation improvements.
