2 Hendeys Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Mortimer Common, Reading, Reading (RG7 2JU). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D.

Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
