This well-presented Victorian mid-terrace offers three bedrooms and two reception rooms within easy walking distance of Reading town centre and the mainline station. At around 698 sqft the house is compact but arranged for clear living and dining space, with an enclosed rear garden that provides private outdoor space.
Original period features such as the bay window and high ceilings create character; double glazing is already installed (pre-2002) and heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators. The property is sold freehold and sits in Council Tax Band B, making running costs relatively low.
Notable considerations: the building is an older solid-brick house constructed before 1900 and it appears to lack wall insulation, so energy-efficiency upgrades would be beneficial. Accommodation includes a single bathroom and on-street parking only. The area has above-average crime statistics, which buyers should weigh against the strong transport links and local amenities.
Suited to first-time buyers or investors, the house offers immediate move-in potential with scope to modernise and add value through targeted improvements to insulation, heating controls and cosmetic updating. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout and period character in person.
