About 1 Brayford Road
1 Brayford Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Reading (RG2 8LT). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 15.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
