This chain-free Victorian mid-terrace offers a practical first home close to Reading town centre and local schools. The house feels light and roomy with two reception rooms, a modern-feel kitchen and two good-sized bedrooms upstairs, plus a bonus loft room that adds flexible space for storage or occasional use.
Built before 1900 with attractive period features and a small low-maintenance rear garden, the property suits buyers wanting character with scope to personalise. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and some elements (double glazing installed before 2002) may benefit from updating to improve comfort and energy efficiency. The layout and loft mean reasonable potential to reconfigure or extend subject to consents.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no onward chain, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. On-street permit parking serves the property; there is no off-street parking. Prospective buyers should note the local area records higher crime levels and the plot is very small, which may affect privacy and outdoor space.
Overall this is a sensible, affordable entry into Reading’s market — good for first-time buyers or investors prepared to carry modest improvement work to increase comfort and value.
