About Roses Bungalow
Roses Bungalow is a detached house in Spencers Wood, Reading, Reading (RG7 1AA). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1278 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £488,000 sits 99.2% above the 2009 sale of £245,000.
