Summary - 11 CARDIGAN GARDENS READING RG1 5QP
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful three-bedroom terrace near the university, freehold with south garden.
Bay-fronted Victorian terraced house retaining sash windows and fireplaces
A classic bay-fronted Victorian terraced house located in the prime university area of Reading, offered with no onward chain. The house retains original character—sash windows, period fireplaces and pine doors—across two floors and approximately 840 sq ft. The layout includes a lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms, making it suitable for sharers, first-time buyers or investors targeting the student/professional market.
Practical strengths include gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, low local crime and an affordable council tax band. The rear garden faces south, with a paved terrace and lawn, providing a private outdoor space rare for the area. The property is freehold and sits in a very affluent, cosmopolitan neighbourhood close to university facilities and local amenities.
Buyers should note this house is traditional solid-brick construction (c.1900–1929) with assumed lack of wall insulation—upgrades may be required to improve energy efficiency. There is one family bathroom and some dated fittings, so cosmetic refurbishment or potential reconfiguration could add value. All services and appliances have not been tested; purchasers should arrange their own investigations.
For first-time buyers or investors, this is a characterful, well-located home with clear potential to modernise while retaining period charm. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the light-filled rooms, high ceilings and south-facing garden in this sought-after part of RG1.
