About 9 Chestnut Close

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

9 Chestnut Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Theale, Reading, Reading (RG7 5DF). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C.
