Summary - Watlington Street, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 RG1 4RT
4 bed 1 bath Town House
Chain-free central property ideal for renovation or rental income.
Four storeys with approx. 1,306 sq ft of accommodation
This Victorian end-terrace town house offers spacious, flexible accommodation across four storeys — around 1,306 sq ft in total — with three/four bedrooms and an enclosed rear garden. The property is chain-free and freehold, positioned in a sought-after central Reading location close to Reading station, The Oracle and several highly regarded schools. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place.
The house is best suited to a buyer seeking renovation potential or an investor wanting rental yield in a well-connected urban area. The layout and room count create opportunities to reconfigure living space or add contemporary finishes; the property’s period character and solid brick construction provide a good base for improvement. On-street permit parking, a small garden and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity are practical benefits.
Buyers should note the property requires modernisation throughout — internal finishes are dated and some rooms are small — and there is only one bathroom. It is offered for sale by online auction: successful bidders must pay a non-refundable reservation fee and a buyer’s premium, and complete within the auction’s specified timescale (details in the legal pack). The plot is small and the area records above-average crime levels, so prospective purchasers should carry out full due diligence and view the legal pack prior to bidding.
In short, this is a chain-free Victorian townhouse with clear scope to add value through refurbishment, ideal for a first-time buyer willing to renovate or an investor targeting central Reading rental demand. Auction sale mechanics and additional fees apply; read the legal pack for full material information.
