Summary - 4 FLAT 23 PALMER STREET READING RG1 3GY
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright modern one-bed near Reading station — long lease and rental appeal.
Private balcony with peaceful neighbourhood views
Step into a modern one-bedroom flat finished in 2022, designed for easy urban living. The open-plan living room and kitchen open onto a private balcony, giving the apartment a bright, airy feel and usable outdoor space. Built-in wardrobes and a separate storage room add practical storage where space is at a premium. The bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom for privacy and convenience.
This property is leasehold with a long 998-year term and runs on a community heating scheme—both important for running costs and future buyers to note. At about 553 sq ft the flat is an average-sized city apartment, suitable for a single buyer or couple; the layout works well for everyday living and short-term rentals. Council tax is described as affordable, and mobile and broadband connections are strong.
Positioned within easy walking distance of Reading town centre and the main train station, the location offers excellent transport links and broad amenity access. The neighbourhood is an inner-city, multicultural student area which brings vibrancy and rental demand but can also mean higher noise and activity at times. Crime levels are reported as high in the immediate area, which will matter for some buyers and should be considered when viewing.
Overall this is a contemporary, low-maintenance flat with genuine commuter convenience and rental potential. It suits first-time buyers or investors looking for a modern city apartment who prioritise location and long lease security, but buyers sensitive to local crime or seeking complete tranquility should take the surrounding context into account.
