Overview

About 10 River Gardens

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

10 River Gardens is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Purley On Thames, Reading, Reading (RG8 8BX). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (140 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £392,000 is 32.9% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£449/sq ft) was about 51.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
