Summary - 24 SHAFTESBURY ROAD READING RG30 2QP
2 bed 2 bath Terraced
Chain-free Victorian terrace with two receptions and two bathrooms, ideal to update.
Bay-fronted Victorian mid-terrace with period features
This bay-fronted Victorian terrace offers spacious, flexible accommodation across multiple floors, presented chain free and ready for new owners. The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing immediate use as a family home or a buy-to-let with good rental appeal. At around 969 sq ft the house feels larger than many terraced homes in the area.
Located in West Reading, the property benefits from excellent local amenities, independent eateries, retail parks and frequent public transport to Reading town centre. Nearby schools have generally good Ofsted ratings and local services include shops, medical centres and leisure facilities. On-street permit parking is available through Reading Borough Council (charges apply).
The house is traditional solid-brick Victorian construction with period bay windows and decorative detailing. It has double glazing (install date unknown) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The small westerly-facing garden is low maintenance with a patio, useful for evening sun.
A pragmatic buyer should note the property will benefit from updating to maximise value: some rooms show neutral decor and signs of potential damp in the living room; insulation is likely limited in the original solid walls. These are manageable works and offer scope to improve energy efficiency and rental or resale value. Freehold tenure and no onward chain simplify a swift purchase for first-time buyers or investors.
