Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in West Reading, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, practical home close to Reading town centre and mainline stations. The building dates from the 1980s and sits within well-kept communal grounds, with resident and visitor parking available by permit — a rare convenience in the area.
Internally the layout is traditional and straightforward: entrance hall with storage, one double bedroom, three-piece bathroom, fitted kitchen and a good-sized living room. The property measures about 420 sq ft and is suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance, city-edge flat with immediate rental potential.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with around 89 years remaining. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the kitchen shows signs of wear and will benefit from updating. The surrounding area is classified as deprived and local crime levels are above average, which may affect long-term demand and pricing expectations.
Practical positives include double glazing, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working or renting. There is no identified flood risk and council tax is described as affordable. Prospective purchasers are advised to verify services and building condition independently, including the electric heating and any communal service charges.
