About Brook House
Brook House is a two-bedroom detached house in Reading (RG1 8EA). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. At 53 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Brook House (53–64 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (69 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (September 2018) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band.
It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (81 m² across 48 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 is 25.8% above the 2008 sale price.
