Set directly opposite the River Kennet, this Victorian mid-terrace blends period character with practical modern upgrades. The two double bedrooms each have their own ensuite, and a modern kitchen leads to a small private garden — a compact, comfortable home for first-time buyers or young couples.
The layout is a traditional “2 up, 2 down” with two reception rooms on the ground floor that suit separate lounge and dining or a home office. At about 736 sq ft the footprint is modest but efficiently arranged, with good natural light to the front and canal views from the principal bedroom.
Practical points are straightforward: the house is freehold, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and easy walking access to Reading town centre and a range of schools and local amenities. Council tax is described as affordable.
Be aware of material considerations: the property’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so heating costs and retrofit work should be considered. The plot is small, and the area records higher local crime levels — factor security and outdoor space limits into your plans. Overall, this is a ready-to-live-in period home offering waterside character and good connections for a first purchase.
