Summary - 51 BLENHEIM ROAD READING RG1 5NG
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful 2-bed terrace near Reading University with garden and outbuilding.
Bay-fronted Victorian/Edwardian terrace with high ceilings
This bay-fronted mid-terrace in Reading’s University area offers classic period character with practical modern upgrades. High ceilings, a bay window and an open-plan ground floor create a bright, airy living space that suits students, sharers or first-time buyers seeking space and character close to town.
The house has two double bedrooms on the first floor and a contemporary family bathroom. The rear garden is landscaped and leads to an insulated outbuilding with mains power and wifi — ideal as a home office, studio or extra storage. Fast fibre (FTTP) and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
Practicalities are straightforward: mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and freehold tenure. On-street parking operates by permit from the council. The plot is small and the property is a mid-terrace, so outdoor space is compact compared with semi-detached alternatives.
There are a few material points to note: the property is solid-brick construction with no confirmed wall insulation (common for homes of this era), which may affect running costs and could merit insulation upgrades. The house has a single family bathroom and limited off-street parking. Overall, it’s a large-feeling 2-bedroom terrace in a cosmopolitan, student-focused neighbourhood — good as a comfortable home or a near-term rental/investment opportunity.
