A compact, well-presented one-bedroom lower ground apartment in a handsome Victorian building, ideal for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor wanting central Reading convenience. The apartment delivers open-plan living with a modern kitchen and bathroom, period character from high ceilings in the building, and pleasant views over mature communal landscaping in a Conservation Area.
Practical benefits include a share of freehold with a peppercorn ground rent, an off-street parking space, and a reasonable service charge of £120pcm that includes building insurance. The flat is a short walk from The Oracle shopping centre and close to the Royal Berkshire Hospital, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal supporting home-working or renting to professionals.
Be aware this is a lower ground apartment and overall internal size is small (c. 398 sq ft). Natural light and aspect are more limited than upper-floor flats, and some interior elements show mid-20th-century style rather than full modern refurbishment. Service charge and communal maintenance are ongoing costs to factor into affordability calculations.
For a buyer seeking central location, period character and low entry price, this flat offers good immediate use and straightforward rental potential (approx. £1,095pcm estimated). It suits someone prioritising location and convenience over large internal space, or an investor looking for a low-price, easy-to-manage asset.
