A character-filled Victorian mid-terrace offered freehold and ready for a new owner. The house sits about 0.7 miles from Reading mainline station, making it a practical pick for commuters who want period features combined with town-centre convenience. The ground floor delivers two reception rooms and a solid-wood kitchen; upstairs are three separate bedrooms and a single family bathroom.
Outside there's a small, enclosed rear garden with a summer house and vehicular access, plus off-street parking — useful for central Reading properties. The home retains period details such as fireplaces, bespoke joinery and sash-style windows, and extends to approximately 960 sq ft which is a comfortable footprint for a first purchase or buy-to-let.
Practical points to note: the property is solid-brick and likely has no cavity wall insulation, double glazing was installed before 2002, and mains gas central heating runs via boiler and radiators. EPC is stated as D in the details (a C rating is also referenced in parts of the brochure), so expect scope for energy improvements. The local area is described as inner-city and cosmopolitan but records high crime and higher-than-average deprivation — factors to weigh when considering family needs or rental returns.
This house suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located period home with character and potential. Cosmetic updating and targeted energy upgrades would increase comfort and long-term value; the property is offered with no onward chain, making a relatively quick move possible.
