Quietly positioned in central Reading, this Victorian mid-terrace is offered freehold and with no onward chain — an accessible purchase for a first-time buyer or a hands-on investor. The house has traditional period character, a bay-front living room, a bright central dining room and a practical modern fitted kitchen. The paved courtyard garden is low-maintenance but very small.
Internally the layout is a familiar 2+1 arrangement across two storeys with a ground-floor bathroom. Gas central heating and UPVC double glazing are in place, though the glazing age is unknown and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may affect heating costs. Overall floorspace is modest (around 672 sqft) so rooms are compact and best suited to a small household or rental use.
Location is a key selling point: about 1.25 miles from Reading town centre and within walking distance of Reading West station, shops, parks and amenities. On-street parking is available but the plot and forecourt are minimal. The area shows higher local crime and wider social deprivation indicators — buyers should weigh local neighbourhood factors alongside central convenience.
This property offers clear scope: cosmetic updating, insulation improvements and internal reconfiguration could add value. For someone seeking a straightforward, chain-free purchase close to transport links, it represents an affordable entry into Reading’s property market; for those seeking larger family accommodation, the compact footprint and small garden will be limiting.
