About 269 Hyde End Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
269 Hyde End Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Spencers Wood, Reading, Reading (RG7 1DA). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2067 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.
