Set in a popular conservation area on the edge of Reading town centre, this substantial Grade II listed semi-detached house spans about 2,204 sq ft over four floors. With high ceilings, large bay windows and many original period details intact, the property offers clear scope either for a sympathetic family restoration or a small-apartment conversion. There is no onward chain and the sellers have had plans drawn for both apartment conversion and a residential home.
The house currently provides eight main rooms, two kitchens and three shower rooms, plus a lower-ground level and useful off-street parking for around three vehicles accessed from St Johns Road. A decent-sized garden with mature planting sits to the rear. Key practical advantages include mains gas heating, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for modern living or as a rental proposition.
Important constraints are factual: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict some alterations and may complicate conversion or modernisation; it requires renovation and retains original stone walls likely without insulation. The vendor notes plans have been drawn, but listed status and planning consents must be confirmed prior to purchase. Also be aware the area records above-average crime levels.
Overall, this is a notable opportunity for a buyer seeking a large, characterful property in a central Reading location — whether an investor looking to develop or a buyer willing to undertake a careful restoration to return the house to its former grandeur.
