Summary - OAKFIELD, 48A FLAT 6 REDLANDS ROAD READING RG1 5HR
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free one-bedroom with long lease, parking and communal gardens near Reading University.
One double bedroom, generous living room with parquet flooring
Tucked away in a sought-after university neighbourhood, this upper-floor one-bedroom apartment offers an accessible entry into Reading’s property market. It arrives with a long 999-year lease, a share of the freehold and peppercorn ground rent — rare benefits at this price point. The layout includes a generous living room with parquet flooring, a double bedroom, fitted kitchen and a useful entrance hall with a study area.
Practical extras include an allocated parking space, well-kept communal gardens and an EPC rating of C. The location is strong for commuters and students alike, with Reading University, the Royal Berkshire Hospital and good road links (M4/A329M) close by. Broadband speeds are fast and local amenities — cafés, shops and leisure facilities — are within easy reach.
Be clear about the negatives: the building sits in a higher-crime ward so buyers should consider security and insurance implications. The apartment is average in size (approx. 568 sq ft) and the block is a 1980s build, so some updating may be desirable. Annual service charge of around £1,180 contributes to communal upkeep. This property is chain-free, making a quick sale possible for buyers seeking a straightforward move-in or a rental investment near the university.
