Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house in the Horncastle area of Reading presents a significant opportunity for renovation and investment. Conveniently located just off the A4 Bath Road, this property benefits from easy access to local bus routes, schools, and recreational amenities. Commuters will appreciate its proximity to Junction 12 of the M4, linking Central London with South Wales, as well as nearby rail services at Reading West, Tilehurst, and Green Park stations. The main commercial district of Reading and Prospect Park are also within a short distance. The house features two reception rooms and a double-length garage accessible via its own driveway, making it a practical choice for families or investors seeking rental income. While the property is predominantly double-glazed and boasts a sizable rear garden, its current condition is poor, necessitating extensive updating and modernization throughout. Additionally, there exists an unconventional basement area with limited head height that could be further developed subject to obtaining necessary permissions. This property is being sold with full vacant possession and will appeal to both owner-occupiers looking for a project and investment buyers eager to unlock its potential.
