This substantial Victorian semi-detached house is arranged over four floors and offers generous, flexible living space ideal for a growing family. The ground floor provides two reception rooms and a spacious kitchen with French doors that open onto an enclosed rear garden. A converted attic delivers a third double bedroom and a basement currently used for storage increases overall capacity.
Located on the edge of Reading town centre, the home is a short walk from Reading University and the Royal Berkshire Hospital, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suited to modern working patterns. The property is offered with no onward chain and benefits from double glazing, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, and historical character features that many buyers value.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the house's solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, the plot and rear garden are small, and there is just one family bathroom for three bedrooms across multiple floors. The local area is described as a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood and recorded crime levels are above average, which may influence suitability for some buyers.
This home suits families seeking space and proximity to central Reading, or those willing to update and personalise a period property. Viewing is recommended to appreciate room proportions and potential, particularly if considering insulating improvements or reconfiguring spaces to better match modern family needs.
