This mid-terrace three-bedroom freehold property on Wincanton Road presents straightforward rental or refurbishment potential in Reading. The house offers a generous rear garden with outbuildings, direct kitchen access, and practical living space laid out over two floors — features that appeal to buy-to-let or renovation buyers seeking added value.
Important: the home is constructed using a non-standard concrete system and is therefore suited to cash buyers only. The interior shows some dated fittings, particularly the kitchen, so a modest programme of updating would improve appeal and rental income. The property is being sold with no onward chain, which simplifies a quick purchase and handover.
Location is a strong point: excellent transport links to Reading town centre and the M4, nearby shops, and a range of primary schools. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as good, supporting tenants who work from home. Council tax is very low, helping reduce running costs for investors.
This is a compact property (about 529 sq ft) in a deprived, hard-pressed neighbourhood, which affects long-term capital growth prospects. For investors seeking immediate income, current figures indicate a rental income stream and a yield in excess of 6% at nearby price points. Overall, this is a practical opportunity for a cash buyer willing to invest in modest refurbishment to maximise returns.
