About 5 Church View

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

5 Church View is a four-bedroom detached house in Beenham, Reading, Reading (RG7 5NL). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
