Overview

About Long Meadow

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

Long Meadow is a detached house in Goring, Reading, Reading (RG8 0DT). It has a recorded floor area of 657 m² (around 7072 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band H. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (February 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 657 m² the property is well over the postcode median (384 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £2,897,000 sits 426.7% above the 2009 sale of £550,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£78/sq ft) was about 76.7% below the postcode norm.
