About 2 Langtree Cottage

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

2 Langtree Cottage is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Checkendon, Reading, Reading (RG8 0SP). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
