A no-chain, two-bedroom Victorian terrace in RG1 that suits a first-time buyer or small household seeking central convenience. The house provides straightforward, light accommodation across three levels with a living room, dining room, kitchen, first-floor bathroom and a second-floor bedroom. An enclosed rear garden adds private outdoor space rarely found at this price in central Reading.
Built before 1900 with solid brick walls and double glazing installed before 2002, the property is fundamentally sound but shows signs that it would benefit from updating. Ceilings are standard height and room sizes are modest; photos and the description indicate some areas needing modernization and possible damp attention. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators.
Practical advantages include permit on-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus very low Council Tax (Band A). The location is highly convenient for local shops, takeaways, transport links and several well-regarded schools, including outstanding secondary options — useful for buyers planning family life or rental demand.
This is a compact, affordable freehold terrace with clear potential for cosmetic improvement and modest investment to modernise. Buyers should factor in updating and potential damp remediation when viewing and valuing the property.
