Chain-free town-centre one-bed with concierge — ideal for commuters or investors..
Chain-free first-floor one-bedroom apartment
This chain-free one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of a modern block in Reading town centre, a short walk from the mainline station, shops and riverside amenities. The open-plan kitchen/living space and double-glazed windows give a bright, low-maintenance city home or rental unit. Communal concierge adds convenience and security for city living.
Practical running costs are clear: a long lease (circa 232 years remaining), mains gas central heating, and an affordable council tax band. Note the annual service charge (£2,260) and ground rent (£350), which are typical for a managed urban development and should be factored into monthly costs.
The surrounding neighbourhood is an inner-city, multicultural area with many amenities and good public transport — popular with students and commuters. However, local crime statistics are higher than average and the area is classified as deprived, so buyers valuing quiet suburban streets or high-level privacy should consider location trade-offs.
Overall, this compact, well-presented apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking easy access to central Reading or an investor targeting steady rental demand. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout and condition firsthand.
