3 bed terraced house for sale

Belmont Road, Reading RG30

“Some homes at this price point are about what you could do to them. This one is about being able to move in, enjoy the character that is already there and still have enough space to make it work around your life.”

Set on Belmont Road in West Reading, this three-bedroom period terrace offers a layout that works particularly well for first-time buyers, couples and smaller families who need genuine flexibility rather than simply a bedroom count.

The front reception is where the house immediately sets itself apart. A bay window brings in plenty of natural light, while the fitted alcove cabinetry, decorative cornicing, ceiling rose and wood-burning stove give the room a sense of character without making it feel overly traditional. The current owners have updated the flooring to hard wearing Herringbone style LTV flooring that flows throughout the ground floor.

The dining room is large enough for a proper table and works as a separate everyday living space rather than simply a passage through to the kitchen. Built-in shelving provides useful storage and display space, while the kitchen beyond is fitted with a good range of units and leads through to the ground-floor bathroom.

Upstairs is one of the property's real strengths. There are three large bedrooms, rather than the 2+1 layout found in many Victorian terraces. The main bedroom is particularly generous, while the remaining two rooms give genuine flexibility for children, guests or working from home. With the large landing, the scope to extend into the roof can also become an option to increase living space.

Outside, the rear garden has been arranged for relatively easy maintenance, with a decked seating area and further garden space beyond. It gives enough room for outside dining, children or simply somewhere private to sit without requiring a large amount of upkeep.

Belmont Road places the house within easy reach of Reading West station, which has benefited from a substantial upgrade including a new station building, ticket gates, improved lighting, CCTV, cycle parking and better interchange facilities. Oxford Road provides everyday shops, restaurants and bus connections into Reading, while Battle Primary Academy on Cranbury Road is particularly close and rated Outstanding across all inspected areas in its November 2024 Ofsted inspection.

For buyers wanting a freehold house rather than a flat, three usable bedrooms, period character and good access into Reading, this is a home that makes sense both now and as circumstances change
