A compact two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in central Reading, offered chain-free and sold freehold through online auction. Its small footprint (circa 597 sq ft) and close walking distance to the train station, hospital, university and town centre make it a practical choice for first-time buyers or investors seeking a city-centre rental. Council Tax Band C and no flood risk add straightforward ownership considerations.
The house retains period character — bay window, fireplace and solid brick walls — but is a renovation project. The property requires updating throughout; walls are likely uninsulated, glazing install date is unknown and the home is described as needing renovation. Heating is mains-gas boiler and radiators and double glazing is present, though condition and dates should be checked.
Practical drawbacks are clear and should influence budgets: on-street permit parking only, above-average local crime rates, small plot and living spaces, and a buyers' fee applies to auction purchases. A "Buy It Now" option is available for those who prefer to avoid the full auction process. This is best suited to buyers ready to invest time and money into modernisation, or investors targeting rental demand from nearby universities and hospital staff.
