Set in the popular University area, this three-bedroom Victorian terrace offers period character and practical living over multiple floors. The house retains sash windows, fireplaces and a bay-fronted living room, and benefits from gas central heating and a private courtyard-style garden with rear access.
Offered with no onward chain, the property is a straightforward purchase for a buyer seeking a ready-to-move-in layout with scope to personalise. At about 793 sq ft the rooms are comfortable rather than generous, and the single family bathroom serves all three bedrooms.
The house requires modernisation in parts and has an EPC rating of D, so energy upgrades and cosmetic renovation would add value and comfort. Its location — a short walk to the University of Reading, Royal Berkshire Hospital, town centre and major transport links — makes it suitable for first-time buyers wanting convenience or for investors targeting student and professional lets.
Practical details: freehold tenure, on-street permit parking, low local crime, and council tax Band C. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the period features and the property's potential.
