This mid-terrace Victorian home offers a straightforward, comfortable starter home close to Reading University and the town centre. Two double bedrooms, separate sitting and dining rooms, and a modern kitchen and bathroom make it ready to occupy, while period features such as a chimney breast and built-in shelving add character.
The location is the main draw: about 1.5 miles from Reading station and within easy reach of university campuses, parks and local amenities. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low local crime support everyday living and working from home. The enclosed rear garden and small front area provide outdoor space without onerous upkeep.
There is scope to add value through modest updating and energy improvements. The property has solid brick walls with no assumed insulation, so insulating walls or loft could reduce running costs. The plot is small and the house is an average size (around 669 sq ft), so buyers should expect compact rooms and limited extension potential without significant work or permissions.
Practical points: the home is freehold, flood risk is none, and council tax is described as affordable. Nearby schools include a mix of ratings; Reading School and Maiden Erlegh rank highly, while a local primary is currently graded as requiring improvement. Overall this house suits first-time buyers seeking a well-located, characterful property with clear potential to personalise and improve.
