About 31 Beresford Road
31 Beresford Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1BX). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. Other recorded features include a loft. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025.
