Victorian two-bed terrace with garden — affordable starter or refurbishment opportunity.
Two double bedrooms; master benefits from an en-suite
Set on a traditional Victorian terrace in Reading (RG1), this two-bedroom freehold home offers straightforward, practical living across approximately 840 sq ft. The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, a ground-floor shower room and an en-suite to the master — a useful blend of period character and everyday convenience.
The property has a classic brick façade, small front garden and a modest rear garden. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and mains gas central heating serves the house, making it comfortable now but with clear scope for improvement. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, suiting homeworking or streaming.
Acknowledged maintenance needs include dated interiors and evidence of damp in the living room; the solid brick walls were built without cavity insulation (assumed), so upgrading thermal performance should be considered. This house will suit buyers prepared to carry out modernization or a targeted renovation to add value and improve energy efficiency.
Location strengths include easy access to local amenities, a range of nearby schools (several rated Good), and public transport links across Reading. With an asking price reflecting its condition and size, the property will appeal to first-time buyers looking for an affordable starter home or investors seeking a period terrace to refurbish.
