About 25 Donnington Road
25 Donnington Road is a six-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 5NE). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 121 m² it's 20.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 40 EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
