Chain-free first-floor flat near Reading town centre and station, ideal for commuters..
No onward chain — ready for quick completion
A compact, chain-free two-bedroom first-floor apartment ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a central Reading location. The flat offers a large sitting room, practical kitchen and off-street parking, all within walking distance of Reading town centre and Reading West station.
Practicalities are straightforward: 114 years remaining on the lease, EPC C, council tax Band B, and a service charge of £1,450 per year with £150 ground rent. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be costlier than gas and may suit buyers seeking low-maintenance rather than low-running-costs.
The block dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and provides low-maintenance brick construction with double glazing. The property is compact at about 440 sq ft, so it will suit buyers wanting efficient, city living rather than generous room sizes. Crime levels in the area are above average, so consider security measures.
Overall this flat delivers an affordable, central-footprint home with clear running costs and opportunities to personalise. It is particularly suitable for first-time buyers, commuters and small-family households who prioritise location and convenience over large internal space.
