Overview

About 8 Curzon Street

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

8 Curzon Street is a mid-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1DB). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £173,000 is 37.1% below the 2025 sale of £275,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£710/sq ft) was about 288.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It changed hands recently, sold June 2025 for £275,000. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 44 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025.
