Summary - 50 ELM PARK ROAD READING RG30 2TN
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact three-bed with garden and strong rental appeal close to Reading West station.
No onward chain, quick completion possible
A chain-free Victorian terraced house in West Reading offering clear rental and refurbishment potential. The property has two double bedrooms plus a smaller third room, two reception rooms and a loft converted for storage accessed by a pull-down ladder. The compact fitted kitchen, fully tiled ground-floor bathroom and private rear garden complete the practical layout for tenants or a small family.
Key strengths include excellent transport links, close walkable access to Reading town centre and Reading West station, and local amenities and schools nearby. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place, while modest size and a small plot keep running costs low. Council tax is described as cheap.
Notable considerations: the house is small (approximately 732 sqft) and built with original solid brick walls likely lacking modern cavity insulation. The loft is for storage rather than a habitable room, there is only one bathroom, and the area records above-average crime. These factors make the property better suited to buy-to-let investors or buyers seeking a value renovation rather than those wanting a larger family home.
Overall, this freehold terrace is a straightforward, low-entry-price opportunity in a busy rental market. It will suit buyers who prioritise location, rental demand and future uplift from targeted improvements such as internal reconfiguration, insulation and cosmetic refurbishment.
