3 bed detached house for sale

Prospect Street, Reading RG1

A period detached property situated in an established residential area on the outskirts of Reading town centre, offered for sale with vacant possession. The property is currently arranged as two self-contained flats, each benefiting from separate utilities, with the existing use supported by a Certificate of Lawful Use. Requiring refurbishment and modernisation, it offers considerable scope for improvement and presents an attractive opportunity for an investor seeking to enhance its rental potential or an owner-occupier wishing to reinstate it as a single dwelling. Alternatively, an owner-occupier could occupy one flat while retaining the other as a rental investment. The ground-floor flat comprises a double bedroom, kitchen/breakfast room, living room and bathroom. The first-floor flat provides two bedrooms, together with separate living accommodation, kitchen and bathroom facilities. The property is conveniently positioned for both Reading West and Reading mainline stations, with a range of local shops, amenities and bus services within walking distance. Combining a detached period property, an established two-flat arrangement and scope for refurbishment, this is a versatile opportunity appealing to both investors and owner-occupiers.
