This third-floor, corner apartment in West Reading offers a compact, modern two-bedroom layout ideal for buy-to-let purchasers or those wanting a low-fuss city base. At 447 sq ft the accommodation is efficiently planned: open-plan living/kitchen, two double bedrooms, an en suite to the master and a family bathroom. All rooms face south, helping reduce winter heating costs, and the flat benefits from double glazing and an EPC B rating.
Practical features include secure intercom entry, lift access to all floors, communal gardens and undercroft off-street parking. The location is highly convenient — a short walk to Reading West station, frequent buses to the town centre and immediate access to Tesco, cafés and other local amenities. Reading’s mainline and Elizabeth Line services are within reach for commuters.
The property is leasehold and currently rented, producing an advertised yield of over 7%, and it is offered with no onward chain. Buyers should note the small overall size (447 sq ft) and that the building uses a community heating/fuel scheme. The wider area is classified as constrained and relatively deprived, and local recorded crime levels are high — factors to consider for owner-occupiers and investors when assessing long-term prospects and insurance or letting conditions.
