The listing price of £600,000 seems reasonably competitive, but without square footage information, a definitive conclusion on value for money cannot be made. Considering comparable properties on Hengrave Close (ranging from £260,000 to £520,000), a price in the upper range isn’t unreasonable considering the extension, number of bedrooms and perceived condition, though additional data such as the size of the property would assist in a more precise valuation.

The property appears to be in reasonably good condition based on the provided photos. While the interior shows some signs of wear and tear consistent with a family home, it does not seem to be in need of significant renovations. The kitchen and bathrooms appear reasonably modern and well-maintained, but some cosmetic updates might enhance the overall appeal.

Lower Earley, Reading benefits from a good location with proximity to multiple highly-rated schools (Hawkedon Primary School, Maiden Erlegh School), and relatively easy access to train stations providing commuter links to London and other major towns. This makes it attractive to families and professionals alike. The property’s position within Hengrave Close adds to its appeal, suggesting a relatively quiet residential area.

The property includes a garden, which is a positive feature, although the size appears to be relatively modest based on the photos. It’s functional but not exceptionally large or offering significant additional space.
