Overview

About 3 Ambury Road

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

3 Ambury Road is a semi-detached house in Aldworth, Reading, Reading (RG8 9TL). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1554 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 144 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £629,000 sits 99.7% above the 2009 sale of £315,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£203/sq ft) was about 34.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
