About 52 Briants Avenue

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

52 Briants Avenue is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5AS). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C.
