The property is located in Katesgrove, Reading, and is a 3-bedroom house with 1 bathroom. The property has a list price of £335,000 and is 970 sqft with a 781 sqft plot size. The average price for a property in the area is £290,804, with an average price per sqft of £323. The property appears to be in need of some modernisation and updating. The flooring and walls in several rooms show signs of wear and tear. The kitchen and bathroom appear dated, and some cosmetic work would improve the overall condition significantly. The garden is relatively small but offers some outdoor space. The location is reasonably good, with several primary schools within a short distance, including The Palmer Primary Academy (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted). Reading train station is approximately 2km away, providing convenient access to the wider region. However, the immediate surrounding area seems to be primarily residential, and the proximity to amenities such as shops and other facilities is not explicitly detailed. Considering the property’s condition, the relatively small plot size, and the need for modernisation, the list price of £335,000 seems slightly higher than the average for the area. While the property benefits from its location near schools and transport links, the required renovations will likely impact the perceived value for money. Nearby properties on Hagley Road have sold for significantly less, suggesting the list price may be optimistic.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
