This Victorian mid-terrace blends period character with practical city-centre convenience. Set over three floors, the house offers two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and two bath/shower rooms — a flexible layout that suits first-time buyers or a small family wanting a city-base near Reading station and The Oracle.
Internally the property is presented in generally good decorative order and benefits from a contemporary kitchen and a bright first-floor four-piece bathroom plus an ensuite on the upper floor. The private rear garden and patio provide a useful outdoor space for relaxation in a compact plot.
Buyers should note the building’s age and construction: a pre-1900 solid brick terrace with older double glazing (installed before 2002) and assumed lack of wall insulation. These are common for period homes and present opportunities to improve thermal performance and reduce running costs. Plot size is small and parking is not mentioned.
Position is a clear strength — inner-city, cosmopolitan area with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, average crime levels and a range of nearby schools (including highly ranked Kendrick School). For purchasers seeking scope to add value through targeted upgrades (insulation, glazing, possible modernisation), this house presents a sensible and well-located opportunity.
