This Victorian mid-terrace marries period character with practical modern upgrades across two generous double bedrooms. Original floorboards, bay windows and high ceilings retain charm while a modern en-suite and a second bedroom shower offer contemporary convenience. A loft accessed by a staircase provides versatile extra space for a home office or guest room.
Downstairs the layout includes two separate reception rooms, a kitchen with natural slate flooring and a utility area, plus a downstairs cloakroom with underfloor heating. A private, secluded garden provides outdoor space despite the small plot. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the house well suited to remote working.
Important practical points: the property dates from c.1900–1929 and the original solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, which may affect heating costs. The plot is compact and some owners may wish to upgrade insulation or modernise systems over time. The home is freehold with affordable council tax and easy access to Reading town centre, The Oracle and Reading mainline station, appealing to commuters and first-time buyers seeking character with potential.
