About 56 Briants Avenue

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

56 Briants Avenue is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5AS). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C.
