Set on the ground floor, this two-double-bedroom maisonette offers straightforward, practical living for a first-time buyer or investor. The property includes front and rear gardens, an open-plan kitchen/living room and direct access to local shops and transport links, making it easy to let or move into immediately.
The long lease (circa 940 years remaining), very low ground rent (£10pa) and no service charge are strong ownership benefits. At about 645 sq ft, the layout is traditional and efficient, with a principal bedroom opening onto the rear garden — useful for indoor-outdoor flow and small-scale entertaining.
There are some clear maintenance and upgrade items to consider: the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and the double glazing was installed before 2002. These factors mean the home will benefit from thermal improvements (insulation, window upgrades) to reduce running costs.
Location is practical: Reading West and Reading stations are within easy reach, schools and healthcare are close by, and local shopping is convenient. Be aware the immediate area records higher crime levels and local deprivation indicators; buyers should factor this into suitability and insurance considerations. Overall this is a sensible, well-positioned property with scope to add value via modest investment.
