Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached house is in a residential area south of Reading town centre and is described as requiring modernisation.

A substantial rear garden is a notable feature, with scope for outdoor use and possible extension potential subject to the necessary permissions and checks. The listing also notes local amenities, schools, bus routes, Green Park, Reading town centre, the M4 and Reading mainline station within the wider area. Marketed by Roger Platt, Lower Earley.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £400,000, this three-bedroom semi offers a worthwhile canvas: two reception rooms, a substantial rear garden and scope to modernise the dated finishes. The photographed living spaces show worn carpets and dated decoration, while the kitchen and compact bathroom could also be refreshed; the garden has room to improve too. No obvious major structural failure is visible in the exterior views.
The overall score is 50/100 (D), with the garden and flexible living space among the positives. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged, and the economics remain difficult to assess without that comparison.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the dated decoration and worn flooring across the photographed living spaces.
- Refresh the dated kitchen and compact bathroom to suit a more contemporary style.
- Improve the substantial rear garden, with a large lawn, patio and scope to explore the listing's stated extension potential subject to permissions.
