Summary - 234, GOSBROOK ROAD, READING, CAVERSHAM RG4 8EA
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Two-bedroom Victorian terrace minutes from Reading station — refurbishment opportunity.
Bay-fronted Victorian terrace with fireplace and period character
Quietly positioned on Gosbrook Road, this bay-fronted Victorian terrace offers two double bedrooms and generous period character. At 756 sq ft with original features such as a bay window and fireplace, the house provides a solid footprint for a first home or a buy-to-let once renovated.
The property requires full modernisation throughout — kitchen, bathroom and internal finishes need replacing and the walls are assumed uninsulated. Practical positives include a Worcester Bosch boiler fitted in 2010, double glazing added to kitchen and bathroom in 2015, mains gas central heating and freehold tenure. A mature rear garden and metal store add outdoor space atypical for some terraces in the area.
Location is a key strength: 0.7 miles from Reading mainline station and close to Caversham’s shops, cafes and schools, making commuting and local life straightforward. Council tax band C and an EPC rating of D reflect existing condition and energy performance; upgrading insulation and services would improve both comfort and running costs.
Notable risks and costs are upfront: the house needs comprehensive refurbishment, walls are likely uninsulated (period solid brick), and the site carries a medium flood risk. These factors suit buyers seeking value uplift through renovation or investors planning refurbishment and re-letting or resale after works.
