About 2 Bracken Way
2 Bracken Way is a three-bedroom detached house in Burghfield Common, Reading, Reading (RG7 3JU). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1090 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £458,000 sits 72.8% above the 2009 sale of £265,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
