A well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment with long lease and no onward chain, set in quiet grounds a short walk from Reading West station and the town centre. The current owners have upgraded heating and ventilation with newly fitted air source heat pumps, an air recuperation system and underfloor heating to kitchen and bathroom — features that lower running costs and add comfort.
The layout includes an open lounge/diner that opens to a private balcony, a refitted kitchen with integrated appliances, two double bedrooms with built-in storage, and a refurbished bathroom. Outside there are mature communal gardens, a large external storage cupboard and a single garage, a practical package for commuters or buyers wanting outside space in town.
Practical points: the property is share of freehold with 942 years remaining and a service charge of about £1,680pa (£140pcm). Council tax is described as inexpensive. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and benefits from double glazing installed after 2002.
Considerations: the immediate area is an inner-city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood and local crime is reported as above average — worth checking personally. The apartment is average in overall size (circa 815 sq ft) and while well-improved, purchasers should verify the condition and service histories of mechanical systems and communal maintenance responsibilities.
