Long lease (924 years) with nominal ground rent (£7)
Bright and practical, this ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette offers a ready-to-move-in home or a straightforward rental opportunity. The living room and principal bedroom benefit from bay-window light, while the kitchen and bathroom present a modern finish. A large west-facing garden with a patio creates private outdoor space ideal for evening sun and entertaining.
Practical running costs are favourable: mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and a very long lease (924 years) reduce tenure and heating concerns. Off-street driveway parking for two cars and easy pedestrian access to local shops, Reading University and good bus links increase everyday convenience and tenant appeal.
Buyers should note the property’s compact footprint (488 sq ft) — it’s best suited to first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let landlords rather than growing families. The walls are assumed to be original cavity construction with no added insulation, so buyers wanting maximum energy efficiency may want to budget for insulation works. The property is leasehold with a nominal ground rent and additional leasehold admin costs may apply.
A sensible survey is recommended because services and appliances have not been tested. Overall, this maisonette combines outdoor space and parking with a long lease and good local amenities, making it a pragmatic choice for buyers seeking an affordable foothold in south Reading.
