The asking price of £685,000 requires careful consideration. The lack of readily available comparable sqft pricing data for the immediate street limits a precise price-per-sqft comparison to establish whether this is exceptional value or not. Whilst nearby properties on Woodford Close show a range in price, they are also largely without sqft data. Other nearby properties’ prices suggest the asking price is potentially towards the higher end of the market in this area, factoring in the needed renovations.

Based on the photos, the property appears to be in satisfactory condition overall, but dated and in need of modernization. The interior decor and fixtures are significantly outdated, suggesting it requires updating and potential renovations. While structurally sound, the property’s aesthetic presentation and functionality need improvement to meet contemporary standards.

The property is located in Caversham Heights, Reading, which is a desirable residential area known for its good schools and proximity to amenities. The presence of several outstanding-rated primary schools within a short distance is a significant advantage. The proximity to Reading town centre and Reading West train station also contributes to its appeal. However, the immediate street does not have readily available average price per sqft data, limiting assessment of precise comparative value.

The property includes a garden, which is a positive aspect, offering some outdoor space. However, the size of the garden is not explicitly stated, and the images suggest it is of moderate size rather than extensive. Therefore, a mid-range score is applied reflecting the presence of a garden, but not an exceptionally large one.
