4 bed town house for sale

Jesse Terrace, Reading RG1

A four-storey period townhouse within the Castle Hill & Russell Street Conservation Area, an area known for its cohesive Victorian architecture. The house sits behind an elegant canopied veranda, softened by established wisteria, part of a terrace of homes built by the Jesse family in the 1870s.
The property now offers scope for comprehensive refurbishment, both internally and externally, including the rear garden, which requires attention. The lower ground floor has previously been affected by a leak, which has been repaired, but the house now requires further remedial works and general upgrading throughout. Original features remain in place, including fireplaces, internal shutters and decorative cornicing, providing a clear sense of the building’s period character. The location is particularly well placed for those seeking a central yet established residential setting, with the town’s shops, restaurants and mainline station all within walking distance. The accommodation is arranged over four floors and is well proportioned throughout. The ground floor provides two linked reception rooms: A front living room with internal shutters, fireplace and French doors opening onto the veranda, and an adjoining family room, also with a fireplace. The lower level includes a kitchen and a dining room, the latter having been affected by previous water ingress and now requiring renewal. There are four bedrooms arranged over the upper floors, with two on the first floor and a further two on the top floor. Offered to the market with no onward chain. Written offers are invited by Friday 29th May.

Garden

The walled garden requires attention with a paved patio and a low level wall separating the original lawned garden that has a timber shed and greenhouse. There is a rear pedestrian gate leading to a communal passageway.
