The property is a 2-bedroom ground maisonette located on Eastern Avenue in Reading, Berkshire. The list price is £245,000. Considering the average price of properties in the area is £399,565 and the average price per sqft is £452, the property’s price of £245,000 for 591 sqft (£414 per sqft) appears comparatively low. However, this needs to be considered in the context of the property’s condition and location. The property benefits from a relatively good location, with several schools within a short distance, including Redlands Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and UTC Reading (rated ‘Outstanding’). Reading train station is also within reasonable commuting distance. The presence of a garden is a positive attribute. Based on the provided images, the property seems to be in reasonably good condition, although some aspects of the interior decor might be considered dated. There is no obvious evidence of significant repairs or renovations being required. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional but could benefit from some modernisation. The property’s relatively small size (591 sqft) and the fact it is a ground maisonette, compared to larger semi-detached or detached properties in the area, likely contributes to the lower price point. The inclusion of a garage is a positive factor. In summary, while the price per sqft is lower than the average for the area, the smaller size, ground floor maisonette style, and potentially the need for some cosmetic upgrades, justify the lower price compared to other properties in the area. The property’s location and the inclusion of a garden are positive aspects.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
