This two-bedroom terraced house on Cranbury Road, Reading, presents a mixed opportunity. Its location is a key strength, offering proximity to good schools and Reading West train station, enhancing its appeal for families and commuters. The property’s proximity to Battle Primary Academy, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, further increases its attractiveness. However, the property requires substantial modernisation. The images clearly depict a need for renovation throughout. The kitchen and bathroom appear particularly dated and in need of updating, and the overall condition of the property suggests significant refurbishment is required before the property is habitable. The absence of any outdoor space or garden is also a notable drawback. Given the necessary renovations, the list price of £280,000 needs to be considered in the context of these refurbishment costs. While comparable properties exist in the area, the condition of this particular property means its price might not be considered exceptional value without factoring in the renovation expenditure. Prospective buyers must thoroughly assess the cost of refurbishment before making an offer. Overall, the property offers potential but needs significant investment.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
