Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached house offers approximately 1,219 sq ft of accommodation over two floors and is offered with no onward chain. The ground floor includes an entrance porch and hall, two separate reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and a lean-to. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC.
The property would benefit from modernisation, with scope to update the existing accommodation to suit a purchaser's requirements. The listing also notes potential to extend, subject to the necessary planning consents; feasibility would need to be checked.
Outside, a large rear garden provides space for landscaping, while the front driveway is stated to accommodate up to five vehicles and includes a carport. West Reading amenities are nearby, with Reading West station approximately 0.7 miles away and the town centre around 1.6 miles away. Prospect Park, local schools and everyday services are also within reach.
WHOTS analysis

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £450,000, this three-bedroom semi is priced slightly below the local average per square foot, giving it a reasonable starting point for a project buyer. The two reception rooms, generous driveway and carport, and large rear garden stand out, while the dated interiors and overgrown garden offer clear scope to reshape the home. The listing also mentions possible extension potential, subject to planning and feasibility.
All-in costs deserve a mention: works on top of purchase push the economics into a tighter band versus area norms, leaving a gap of around 7% versus area norms for this sqft. The project can still appeal to the right buyer, yet the numbers are not exceptional.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the dated kitchen and shower room as part of a coordinated update.
- Refresh the dated finishes and flooring across the reception rooms and bedrooms.
- Clear and reinstate the large rear garden, then assess the space for landscaping; any extension would depend on planning and feasibility.
Key risks
- The rear garden is substantially overgrown, so the condition of the paving and underlying surfaces needs checking during clearance.
