Summary - 50 ELM PARK ROAD READING RG30 2TN
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact three-bed with garden and strong rental potential.
Chain-free Victorian terrace, freehold ownership
This chain-free Victorian terrace offers a compact, easy-to-manage footprint ideal for buy-to-let or a first-step purchase. The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, and a small private rear garden—practical spaces that appeal to renters or a young family. The loft is converted for storage with a pull-down ladder, and double glazing plus mains gas central heating improve comfort and running costs.
The property is presented as a tidy home but not fully modernised: the house sits on solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), has a single fully tiled bathroom, and the overall internal size is small at around 732 sq ft. These factors limit scope for further extension without structural works, but also keep capital expenditure lower for an investor seeking immediate rental income.
Location is a genuine strength — a short walk to Reading town centre and Reading West station, strong transport links, local shops, and multiple schools nearby. Demand from professionals and private renters is supported by Reading’s employment hubs, making the house straightforward to let. Note the area records above-average crime; factor this into rental pricing, security improvements, and insurance costs.
Overall this is a practical, low-entry freehold purchase for an investor or buyer prepared to keep the accommodation as-is or carry modest upgrades. The property’s positives (no onward chain, transport, two receptions, garden) are balanced by its compact size, limited bathroom provision, and likely need for insulation or targeted renovation to maximise long-term value.
