This well-presented two-bedroom apartment sits in The Meridian, a modern development in the heart of Reading town centre. The layout includes two double bedrooms (master with fitted wardrobes and ensuite), a lounge/diner, and a refitted kitchen with integrated appliances — ready to move into with no onward chain. Communal gardens and a 0.6-mile walk to Reading station make it convenient for commuters.
Internally the flat feels contemporary and bright with wooden flooring and neutral decor. At about 773 sq ft, the accommodation is comfortably sized for first-time buyers or sharers and should appeal to investors seeking strong rental demand in a multicultural, student-populated area. The property was constructed in the early 1990s and benefits from double glazing and electric boiler/radiator heating.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with 102 years remaining, a service charge around £2,520 per year and a small ground rent of £150. The immediate area is inner-city and cosmopolitan with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but local crime levels are reported as high and the neighbourhood has a significant student presence, which can affect noise and footfall.
Overall, this apartment offers an attractive, low-hassle purchase for a commuter, first-time buyer or investor who values location and presentation, but buyers should factor in running costs and the urban setting when considering long-term suitability.
