Local market context
2 Almshouses is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Tilehurst, Reading, Reading (RG30 4JR). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 552 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include notable views. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows a G (score 7), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
