This compact Victorian mid-terrace in Blenheim Gardens offers a practical, well-located home for first-time buyers, commuters or investors. The house is bright and airy with double glazing, gas central heating and a private rear garden — useful outdoor space in a small plot. Its proximity to Reading town centre, the university, hospital and Reading Station makes daily travel and rental demand straightforward.
The property is small (approximately 587 sq ft) and retains period character in need of sympathetic updating in places. Solid brick walls were built before 1900 and are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should budget for potential insulation and energy-efficiency improvements. There is one bathroom and a modest room count, so the layout suits singles, couples, sharers or as a lettable two-bed investment rather than a large family home.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no onward chain, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and permit parking on the street. Council tax is described as affordable. While the house is ready to occupy, it also offers straightforward scope for cosmetic refurbishment to increase value — take care to factor in historic-property considerations and any necessary building upgrades.
