Summary - 16 STANLEY STREET READING RG1 7NY
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free, close to Reading station with a private rear garden.
Three bedrooms across two storeys, open-plan lounge/diner
A straightforward three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offered chain-free, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking easy access to Reading town centre and the mainline station. The house provides practical living space across two storeys with an open-plan lounge/diner, separate kitchen and family bathroom. An enclosed rear garden and on-street permit parking add everyday convenience.
Internally the home is well-presented but shows signs of cosmetic age; wood floors and a working fireplace bring period character, while some rooms would benefit from updating to maximise space and value. The property is solid-brick (likely without insulation) and was built c.1900–1929, so buyers should expect typical period maintenance and potential thermal upgrades.
Key positives include freehold tenure, double glazing installed after 2002, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working. There is no flood risk and council tax is in a lower band, which helps running costs. Nearby schools include several rated Good and an Outstanding junior school.
Be candid about the neighbourhood context: the immediate area is inner-city and classified as deprived with higher crime levels than average. That affects the market appeal and may influence mortgage or insurance considerations. Overall this is a practical, well-located home with straightforward refurbishment potential for a buyer prepared to invest modestly to refresh and insulate the property.
