Summary - PROJECTION WEST FLAT 8 MERCHANTS PLACE READING RG1 1ET
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, commuter-friendly home minutes from the mainline station.
No onward chain — ready for a quick purchase
Bright and practical one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Reading town centre, offered with no onward chain. The open-plan kitchen/living area receives plenty of natural light and fits everyday living and entertaining. At 511 sq ft, the layout is straightforward and low-maintenance for a single occupant or couple.
The flat is walkable to the mainline station, shops, restaurants, gyms and riverside – ideal for commuters or students wanting central access. The lease is long (about 131 years remaining) and freehold-style costs are transparent: ground rent £250 pa and service charge around £2,429.44 pa. Council Tax Band C.
Practical points: heating is electric with room heaters rather than central gas, and the block was built c.1996–2002 with double glazing fitted. The area is a lively, inner-city neighbourhood with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, but local crime statistics are high and the immediate setting is urban and busy.
This property suits a first-time buyer, city worker or investor seeking a straightforward, chain-free purchase with good transport links. It’s best if you’re comfortable with inner-city living and apartment service charges.
