Summary - CANFORD COURT 15 WILTON ROAD READING RG30 2SQ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free first-floor flat — long lease and close to Reading station.
Chain free first-floor two-bedroom apartment
Light-filled two-bedroom apartment in Canford Court, a short walk from Reading town centre and the mainline station. Occupying the first floor of a 1960s modern block, the flat offers a lounge/diner, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms arranged across an average-sized 620 sq ft footprint. Residents parking and a communal garden sit to the front, and double glazing was installed after 2002.
The long lease (in excess of 900 years—c.944 years remaining) and chain-free sale make this an uncomplicated purchase for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Practical running costs include an annual service charge of about £1,320 and council tax in Band B; ground rent is currently listed as TBC. Heating is via electric storage heaters, and electricity is the main fuel source.
The property is close to a wide range of amenities and schools, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for commuters and renters. Note the wider area shows higher-than-average crime and relative deprivation; the building dates from 1967–75 and some internal elements may show mid-century or slightly dated features that will benefit from updating.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-located apartment offering easy transport links and long-term security through an exceptionally long lease. It will suit buyers seeking an affordable step onto the property ladder or investors looking for a lettable flat near Reading station, provided they accept basic electric heating and a mid-century finish that may need modernisation.
