This well-presented second-floor apartment has been recently refurbished and is offered with no onward chain, making it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or investor. The layout provides a separate living room and kitchen, a double bedroom and a modern bathroom within approximately 461 sq ft. A long lease (around 989 years) reduces long-term lease concerns and the unit includes an allocated off-street parking space.
Positioned for convenience, the home sits close to Reading town centre and junction 11 of the M4, with a bus stop a minute’s walk away and on-site amenities including a convenience store and gym. The apartment is move-in ready with new carpeting and neutral décor; mains gas central heating and double glazing are already installed. Council tax is described as affordable.
There are a few practical considerations: the annual service charge of about £2,700 is moderate and will affect running costs, and the immediate area scores as higher-crime and more deprived than average. The property has no private garden and communal outdoor areas are small. Overall this is a compact, convenient flat best suited to someone seeking a low-maintenance starter home or a rental investment close to transport and town amenities.
