Kiel's view-
This charming three bedroom Victorian terraced home in Reading offers excellent potential for first-time buyers. Situated on Cumberland Road, just a minute’s walk from the River Kennet and 15 minutes from Reading town centre, the property combines period character with fantastic scope to add value.

Inside, the current owners have already made thoughtful improvements, including the installation of an upstairs shower room and a replacement boiler in 2024. There is also rear and side access — a rare and practical feature for homes of this style.

While some areas of the home remain part-finished, this presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to put their own stamp on the property and potentially reconfigure into a three-bedroom home, as was the sellers’ intention.

This home is being sold due to a change in personal circumstances, making it a genuine opportunity for a buyer seeking a well-located property with huge potential.


Area Overview – Reading RG1
Cumberland Road is ideally positioned for buyers wanting easy access to Reading’s town centre and its wealth of shops, restaurants, and the mainline train station — perfect for London commuters via the Elizabeth Line.

At the end of the road is Cemetery Junction, where you’ll find a Tesco Express, Co-op, the popular Hope & Bear pub, and the brand-new Café Yolk — already a local hotspot for take-away brunch. For those who love the outdoors, Palmer Park is just 0.4 miles away, offering green open space for running, cycling, dog walking, or weekend strolls.

Commuters will also appreciate the quick access to the A329 and onward routes to the M4 motorway, making this an excellent choice for those working in Reading, Bracknell, or further afield.

Being so close to the River Kennet is another standout feature, providing a peaceful riverside walk straight into Reading town centre in just 15 minutes.

All of this makes Cumberland Road a fantastic option for first-time buyers looking to be close to Reading’s vibrant lifestyle, excellent transport connections, and a welcoming local community.

About Avocado Property, Covering South East

Covering South East

Much like a version of how 'real estate' works in the US, the avocado brokerage guarantees that every client will directly work with the business owner. Each partner agent becomes your personal agent and is committed to working with a small exclusive amount of clients.

We're a group of fun, passionate people on a mission to create an enjoyable experience all round. If we didn't, we'd be wearing suits and leaflet dropping! Not that there's anything wrong with that, we just happen to know there's a better way!

The impact of this moment in time isn't lost on us, so whether you need us on hand to guide you through your exciting purchase, hold your hand through daunting negotiations or celebrate with you as we hand over your new keys, don't worry, we've got your back.
