About 1 Surrey Road

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

1 Surrey Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG2 0EU). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C.
