About 38 Goldsmid Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

38 Goldsmid Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG1 7YB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89).
