Set on a Victorian terrace in the heart of Reading RG1, this two-bedroom mid-terrace offers a compact, well-located starter home or buy-to-let in a busy town-centre pocket. With two reception rooms, a small garden and 590 sq.ft. of living space, the house provides straightforward accommodation close to shops, schools and transport links.
Strengths include freehold tenure, double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating and excellent mobile and fast broadband — practical benefits for first-time buyers or renters. The property is offered with no onward chain, so a quick move or letting process is possible for those wanting speed to market.
Be clear about the limits: the house is small and compact, with solid brick walls likely lacking built-in insulation. The layout suits a couple, small family or tenants rather than buyers needing generous room sizes. There is a single bathroom and a modest rear garden; council tax is described as cheap and local crime levels are average.
Overall this is a pragmatic purchase for someone prioritising central location and transportable value over space. Investors will find a ready tenant market in this cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood; first-time buyers will appreciate the manageable upkeep and immediate proximity to Reading town-centre amenities.
