Summary - 3 Anstey Road RG1 7JR
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Short walk to Reading station and town centre, ideal for refurb projects.
Four bedrooms across three floors, approximately 970 sq ft total
A large four-bedroom, three-storey Victorian semi-detached house a short walk from Reading station and the town centre. Set over approximately 970 sq ft, the property is freehold and offered with no onward chain — a straightforward purchase for a buyer ready to act. The location provides fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and close access to shops, restaurants and transport links.
The house has two reception rooms, a kitchen, one family bathroom and four bedrooms across three floors. It benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating, but the building shows signs of wear: visible damp/mould in parts of the living area and dated fixtures throughout. The property’s solid brick construction likely lacks wall, roof and floor insulation and will need upgrading to meet modern energy standards.
Externally there is a very small rear garden requiring landscaping and on-street parking only. The immediate area is inner-city and mixed-use with high local crime rates and signs of deprivation; these factors affect the rental market and resale values and should be considered alongside the strong town-centre location.
For investors or those with renovation experience this is a clear refurbishment opportunity — scope to modernise interiors, improve energy performance and add rental value given the proximity to transport hubs and local amenities. For owner-occupiers seeking a turnkey family home, substantial work will be needed and the neighbourhood context should factor into decisions.
