Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom terraced house in Reading, Berkshire, presents a mixed bag. Located on Oxford Road in Norcot, it offers convenient access to Reading West train station (1.79km) and Wilson Primary School (0.41km), making it potentially attractive to families and commuters. The property itself shows signs of having undergone some recent improvements such as a modern kitchen and bathroom. However, there’s a clear need for some cosmetic work and potential minor repairs; a fresh coat of paint and minor gardening may significantly improve its appeal. The biggest drawback is the almost non-existent outdoor space—a small, neglected yard rather than a garden. While its price of £275,000 is reasonable in relation to comparables in the immediate vicinity of the property, the lack of garden space and need for minor improvements could impact potential buyers who value these factors. Overall, the property is a functional option for those looking for an affordable entry point to the Reading property market, especially if close proximity to a good primary school and train station is paramount. The limited outdoor space and need for some minor improvements need consideration for potential buyers.
Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
