Summary - 38 ALPINE STREET READING RG1 2QA
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact character home with long private garden and modern boiler.
Two double bedrooms over first and second floors
A well-presented Victorian mid-terrace arranged over three floors, this two-bedroom home offers a blend of period character and practical updates in a convenient town-centre location. Ground floor reception rooms retain original fireplaces and stripped floorboards, while a modern fitted kitchen opens to a private rear garden of approximately 60 ft — unusually generous for a terrace in this area.
The upper floors have been reconfigured to provide two double bedrooms and a large first-floor bathroom with both bath and separate shower. Practical improvements include a new boiler installed in October 2024 and double glazing; heating is mains gas with radiators throughout. Offered freehold and chain-free, the house is ready to move into and suits a first-time buyer, someone downsizing or a buy-to-let investor.
Room sizes are modest and the layout is compact, so the house works best for buyers comfortable with efficient living space rather than large rooms. The property has solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation) and may benefit from targeted energy upgrades. The kitchen is a narrow, galley-style fit and there is a single main bathroom shared between bedrooms.
Located on Alpine Street just south of Reading town centre, the house is within easy walking distance of the Oracle, local shops and frequent rail services to London. The immediate area is inner-city cosmopolitan with good broadband and mobile signal, average crime and amenity access — a practical, well-located starter home with scope to add value by selective modernisation.
