Located on the sixth (top) floor of Garrard House, this one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, well-presented central-Reading home or buy-to-let. The open-plan living space benefits from floor-to-ceiling glazing and a skylight in the contemporary kitchen, letting in good natural light for a city-centre flat. The bedroom is a large double with fitted wardrobes and the bathroom has a large walk-in shower.
This apartment is particularly suited to investors or commuters: it’s a short walk from Reading mainline station and the Oracle shopping centre, and it can be purchased with a tenant in situ for immediate rental income. The lease has 116 years remaining and the property sits within a managed block with secure entry-phone access and community heating.
Practical considerations: there is no private outdoor space and the building faces an urban street with neighbouring multi-storey blocks and standard city views. A parking space is not included but can be bought on site for an additional £15,000. Ground rent is £250 and the property lies in an area with very high recorded crime levels and wider indicators of deprivation — factors to weigh for owner-occupiers and renters alike.
Overall this is an efficiently planned city apartment with contemporary fittings and clear rental appeal because of its location and immediate income potential. Prospective buyers should inspect communal condition, service charges and the specifics of the community heating arrangement in person.
