This three-bedroom late-Victorian mid-terrace on Surrey Road offers a compact, characterful home close to Reading town centre. Period features include a bay-windowed reception with high ceilings, original fireplace and wooden floors that give immediate charm and living appeal.
The house is small (approximately 800 sq ft) and sits on a small plot with an enclosed rear garden. Accommodation comprises an open-plan reception room, rear kitchen, three first-floor bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The property is freehold, on mains gas with radiator heating and double glazing (install date unknown).
Practical factors to note: the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, the home will benefit from modernisation and potential insulation improvements to reduce running costs. The area is an inner-city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal but a higher local crime rate; consider this if privacy and security are priorities.
The location is a strength: walking distance to local shops, cafes, bus routes and several good primary and secondary schools. For a first-time buyer or investor this house offers immediate occupancy or rental potential, with scope to add value through sympathetic updating.
