This bay-fronted Victorian terraced house sits in a favoured university area and is offered with no onward chain. With two bedrooms, linked reception rooms, and high ceilings, it retains period character while presenting clear potential for updating. The property has been let since 2007, making it equally suitable for continuing as an investment or for owner occupation once vacated.
The layout includes a living room with fireplace, dining room with French doors to a small east-facing garden, a modern fitted kitchen and a first-floor bathroom. The garden is established with a brick-pillared gazebo, decked path and mature shrubs. Practical extras include mains gas central heating, double glazing and ultrafast FTTP broadband.
Notable considerations: the house is a solid-brick Victorian build (likely no wall insulation), the plot is small and on-street parking operates by permit from Reading Borough Council (charges apply). The property has been tenanted long-term, so it will require inspection for any deferred maintenance and possible modernisation to suit owner-occupiers or to refresh rental appeal for students or professionals.
This home will appeal to investors seeking steady rental history and to buyers wanting a compact, characterful home in a central, well-connected location close to the town centre, hospital, university campus and Palmer Park.
