Set over three floors, this Victorian terraced home on Elgar Road is offered chain-free and ready for a first-time buyer or small family looking for immediate move-in. The house benefits from recent mains gas central heating and a full re-wire, so major services have been modernised while retaining period brick character. A sunny rear garden backs directly onto the River Kennet, creating a rare urban-with-nature setting close to town.
The layout includes two generous living areas and three double bedrooms, with the entire top floor used as a spacious principal bedroom that could accommodate an en-suite conversion. Commuters will appreciate the short walk to Reading town centre and the mainline station, plus quick M4 access. Off-street parking and permit availability are practical perks for city living.
Be clear about scale: the overall footprint is small (approx. 780 sq ft) and room sizes are modest, typical of a Victorian mid-terrace. Construction is original solid brick with no confirmed cavity insulation, so consider insulation and energy-efficiency improvements if desired. There is a single family bathroom and the rear garden is compact, requiring routine maintenance rather than extensive landscaping.
This property suits buyers who prioritise location, strong transport links, and character with modern services already in place. It offers sensible scope to personalise — for example adding an en-suite or improving insulation — rather than a full structural project. Flood risk is low and council tax is described as affordable, reducing running-cost uncertainty.
