Compact town-centre flat with parking and included white goods.
Top-floor one-bedroom apartment, 430 sq ft
Bright top-floor one-bedroom flat positioned within easy walking distance of Reading town centre and The Oracle. The living room and adjacent kitchen make efficient use of the compact 430 sq ft layout, while a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and loft storage (solely for this apartment) add useful storage. Residents' off-street parking, town-centre views and inclusion of all white goods improve immediate move-in convenience.
Practical running points: heating is by electric room heaters and mains electricity (no communal gas), and the property has double glazing. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for remote working or streaming. Council tax band is described as cheap and there is no identified flood risk.
Important drawback: the lease term is very short (noted as 64 years remaining), which is likely to prevent mortgage lending. Buyers should factor in the cost and process of extending the lease or plan to purchase with cash. The flat is compact and best suited to single occupants, couples or investors targeting lettings; expect modest ceilings and small room sizes consistent with top-floor, late-20th-century builds.
Chain-free sale and a central location offer a straightforward purchase for buyers who can manage the lease issue. For those able to buy without relying on a mortgage, the property provides a low-maintenance, centrally located apartment with immediate rental or move-in potential.
