Description
DESCRIPTION/LOCATION: A semi-detached house occupying a prominent position on the corner of George Street and James Street. Formerly known as 9 George Street with retail on the ground floor, storage behind and residential above. Many years ago the property was converted to 2 self contained flats, each approached from James Street, hence the new addresses. Until recently the property had been Let for many years but is now available with vacant possession. The most likely alternatives include improving the existing accommodation and re-Letting or selling as 2 individual self contained apartments, conversion to a single residential unit or conversion to an HMO, subject to obtaining a licence.
The property is situated just off the Oxford Road and is within ½ mile of Friar Street which forms part of Reading town centre. The railway station is less than 1 mile with alternative services into London including Waterloo, Paddington and the Elizabeth line. There are also services to the west of England, South Wales, Midlands, north of England and Scotland.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
