1 bed 1 bath Flat
Contemporary city living with balcony and quick access to station.
Town-centre location; 8-minute walk to Reading Station
Set in the heart of Reading, this one-bedroom apartment offers central living with immediate access to transport, shops and riverside green space. The open-plan living/kitchen opens onto a large balcony that captures local views, creating useful extra space for relaxing or entertaining. With 579 sq ft and a long lease (about 109 years remaining), the layout suits a single professional, first-time buyer, or buy-to-let investor seeking a city-base near Reading Station.
The accommodation is presented in a contemporary style with a modern fitted kitchen, bright double bedroom and a bathroom with bath and overhead shower. Practical details include a secure phone-entry system, nominal ground rent (£1) and an annual service charge review. The property is offered chain free, which can speed up completion for buyers wanting a quick purchase.
Buyers should note important local and property considerations. The wider area is an inner-city, multicultural neighbourhood with very high recorded crime and pockets of deprivation; this affects both lifestyle and lettability. Broadband speeds are described as average, and the apartment is an average-sized one-bed in a high-rise setting, so buyers wanting quieter suburban streets or faster internet should check suitability.
Overall, this is a convenient, centrally positioned one-bedroom with genuine value drivers — transport links, riverside nearby, no chain and a long lease — balanced by clear urban-area drawbacks. It suits someone prioritising location and resale or rental potential over suburban tranquillity.
