Summary - Flat 6, Sydenham House, Sun Street RG1 3HX
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Balcony, open-plan living with quick town-centre access.
Large double bedroom with ample proportions
This first-floor, one-bedroom apartment offers practical open-plan living in a modern block close to Reading town centre. The living area opens onto a balcony, and the large double bedroom provides comfortable sleeping space for a single occupant or couple.
The property is offered with no onward chain, making a quick transaction possible. At around 564 sq ft, the apartment is a sensible-sized starter home or rental unit, with double glazing and electric storage heating already installed.
Important drawbacks are clear: the lease has about 78 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage availability or affect future resale value. The local area scores as higher-crime and relatively deprived, so buyers should consider security and insurance implications.
Overall, the apartment suits a pragmatic first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking central location and immediate availability. Viewings are recommended for those prioritising proximity to town amenities over long-term lease security.
