This spacious first-floor apartment offers roomy two-bedroom accommodation across approximately 885 sq ft, arranged for comfortable everyday living. The dual-aspect living room links to a fitted kitchen, and both bedrooms are described as double in size. Practical features include a separate W/C, built-in storage in the entrance hall and off-street parking within the communal car park.
The flat is sold chain free and sits on a long lease (214 years remaining), with a reasonable annual service charge (£1,283.76) and affordable Council Tax Band B. Commuters will value Reading West and Tilehurst stations within easy reach, regular bus services, and quick access to the M4 and local retail at Calcot.
Buyers should note the area scores as very deprived with above-average crime rates; readers should consider local safety and community factors. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction — there may be further energy-efficiency work to consider despite double glazing being installed after 2002.
This home suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a chain-free purchase with immediate letting or updating potential. The accommodation is well-proportioned and practical, but purchasers should allow for possible cosmetic or insulation improvements and factor service charges and local area conditions into their plans.
