This extended Victorian terrace sits within easy walking distance of Reading town centre and the mainline station, making day-to-day life and commuting straightforward. The house offers a contemporary open-plan kitchen/living space with skylights that flood the ground floor with natural light, plus a separate front reception/study and two upstairs bedrooms. Off-street parking for two vehicles to the rear and an enclosed rear garden add practical outdoor space that’s rare so close to the centre.
Finished to a modern standard in the living areas, the property combines character features such as a bay window and arched brickwork with updated fittings. Two bathrooms and a flexible layout suit first-time buyers wanting ready-to-move-in accommodation or investors seeking a city-centre rental asset. The freehold tenure and affordable Council Tax Band C are additional practical benefits.
There are some material points to note. The property is a pre-1900 solid-brick build and there is likely no wall insulation; double glazing was installed before 2002. These factors could affect long-term energy performance and running costs. The plot is small and the front offers permit parking only. Buyers should allow for the possibility of upgrading insulation or glazing over time if reducing bills is a priority.
Overall, this 2-bedroom terrace offers a strong town-centre location, outdoor space and useful parking — a good fit for first-time buyers wanting convenience, or investors targeting central Reading demand. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the light and layout in person.
