Chain-free four-bedroom property near transport links, ideal for refurbishment or rental income.
Vacant possession with no onward chain
Large 4-bedroom layout across three floors (1359 sq ft)
Previously successful HMO — strong rental potential
Minutes' walk to Reading West station and local amenities
Requires full modernisation; dated roof, windows and interiors
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — energy upgrade needed
Small walled courtyard garden; limited outdoor space
Area shows higher crime levels and local deprivation
Offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, this substantial Victorian end-of-terrace spans three floors and previously operated successfully as an HMO. Its location is a key draw — a short walk to Reading West train station, local shops, parks and regular bus routes, making it attractive to lettings or owner-occupation alike.
The ground floor provides flexible living with two reception rooms and a large kitchen opening to a small southerly courtyard. The first floor has three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, while a dormer loft conversion creates a generous fourth bedroom on the second floor. The layout supports continued HMO use or conversion to a family home with minimal structural alteration.
Practical considerations: the house requires modernisation throughout and assumes no insulation in the solid brick walls. Roof, windows and internal fittings are dated and will need updating for long-term comfort and efficiency. The rear garden is a small courtyard, so outdoor space is limited. The local area has higher crime levels and broader signs of deprivation, which should be weighed by buy-to-let investors or families.
This freehold property offers clear potential for rental income or refurbishment value given its size, location and chain-free status. Buyers seeking a ready-to-move, high-spec home should expect renovation work; investors or hands-on owners will find scope to add value and improve energy performance.
