This freshly redecorated two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits under half a mile from Reading town centre and mainline station, making it a practical base for commuters and city-living first-timers. The layout includes a large living room and kitchen-diner with fitted appliances; the cooker, washing machine, fridge-freezer and blinds are included. Residents benefit from an allocated parking space and communal gardens.
The property is offered chain free on a leasehold of over 95 years and presents a clear investment case — advertised yield around 8.5% — or an affordable entry into the RG1 market. At 565 sq ft the flat is compact but efficiently arranged, recently refreshed throughout and ready to occupy or let quickly.
Buyers should note the apartment uses electric storage heating rather than gas central heating, and the building has an average service charge of £1,944pa plus ground rent of £360pa. Those running costs and the modest internal space are the main trade-offs against the convenient location and low-maintenance communal setting.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-hassle purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking proximity to Reading station, easy access to local amenities, and immediate rental potential. Viewings are recommended to judge space and heating suitability in person.
