3 bed terraced house for sale

Cardigan Road, Reading, Berkshire RG1

Bay-Fronted 3 Bed Victorian Near Uni, Option For 4th Bed, West-Facing Patio Garden, No Onward Chain

Note from the Homeowner

No.88 has been a fantastic investment for us over the last 11 years. We’ve never experienced any major issues. Its location has always made it popular and easy to let, and we’ve found it to be a reliable, low-maintenance asset throughout our ownership.

Alex's Best Bits

As you step inside this 3 bedroom bay-fronted Victorian terrace, you’ll notice something many of these homes lack - a separate entrance hall. Instead of walking straight into the living room, this layout gives you an airlock effect, helping keep the cold out in winter and creating a natural divide. But more than that, it adds flexibility - that front room becomes a great candidate for a 4th bedroom, or perhaps a cosy snug or office, complete with that charming bay window.

Flowing through, you’re greeted with an open-plan kitchen and dining area, making it ideal for family life or entertaining. At the rear, the bathroom sits in the traditional Victorian downstairs spot - it’s functional but would benefit from a modern refit, offering a clear opportunity for the next owner to add value.

Upstairs, you’ll find 3 bedrooms - 2 doubles and 1 larger single. All windows are double glazed, and there’s clever built-in storage over the stairs. A big win here is that every wall has been re-skimmed - no woodchip, no artex, just a clean, smooth finish throughout.

Step outside to a west-facing, low-maintenance garden. This is where you will find a powered outbuilding - currently used as a utility area, but with potential for a workshop or extra storage.

Location, Location

This part of Cardigan Road is on a quiet one-way section, and it’s a permit-only street, making parking more manageable. The property is less than half a mile to the University of Reading, and just at the bottom of the road you’ll find the Co-op, bus routes into town, and other local favourites like Café Yolk. Reading Station is about 1.5 miles away, making commuting simple.

This one ticks a lot of boxes - whether you’re an investor looking for a rock-solid rental or a first time buyer after a Victorian home to enjoy the character and the flexibility.
