Characterful two-bed terrace near Reading University and station.
Two double bedrooms in a period Victorian mid-terrace
A compact Victorian mid-terrace in the sought-after Reading University and hospital area, this two-double-bedroom home combines period character with practical modern upgrades. The property offers a sitting room with chimney breast, separate dining room, a modern bathroom and a kitchen currently fitted with stand-alone appliances. An enclosed rear garden provides outdoor space and scope for personal landscaping.
The location is a major draw for commuters and students: about 1.5 miles from Reading town centre and station, close to Reading University Whiteknights campus and local sports facilities. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working; local amenities and frequent buses are on the doorstep.
The house is freehold with affordable council tax and an average overall size (circa 669 sq ft). Building fabric is traditional solid brick (pre-1900) and double glazing was installed after 2002. Buyers should note the solid walls are assumed uninsulated and the small plot limits extension potential without planning research. The kitchen uses stand-alone appliances and may need upgrading to suit long-term preferences.
This property will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a well-located, characterful home with straightforward maintenance needs and scope to add value through modest refurbishment. It delivers practical living now, with clear potential to personalise rooms and garden over time.
