Description

This attractive bay-fronted Victorian property, located on a desirable road, is a short walk from Reading's mainline train station and the vibrant Caversham centre. Perfectly situated within a rich historical context, this characterful home presents a prime opportunity for modernisation. While it currently requires extensive refurbishment to bring it up to contemporary living standards, its potential makes it an excellent choice for first-time buyers or investors keen to add value. Notable features include two spacious double bedrooms, an entrance hall leading to a sitting room with bay window, a dining room, kitchen, and bathroom. A new Worcester Bosch boiler and updated radiators were installed in 2010 while the kitchen and bathroom windows were replaced in 2015. The property also boasts a generous garden at the rear, ideal for outdoor improvements or expansions. With Caversham's comprehensive amenities and good school options nearby, this home offers significant investment potential in an attractive South East location.
