Bright, chain-free one-bedroom apartment ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking central Reading convenience. The top-floor flat occupies its own floor within a modern block, offers an open-plan living/kitchen, a double bedroom and a bathroom, and includes secure underground allocated gated parking. Its proximity to the railway station, town centre amenities and good local schools makes it a practical, well-connected city base.
The apartment is presented in good order with double glazing and mains gas central heating. It benefits from access to an enclosed communal garden and an exclusive floor within the block, giving a sense of privacy unusual for a city centre flat. Service charge currently runs at £1,734pa and there is no ground rent.
Buyers should note the material leasehold issue: 81 years remain, so a lease extension will be required and this could add cost and time to ownership. The kitchen is neat and functional but shows some dated fittings and could be updated to increase appeal and value. Overall, the flat offers straightforward, low-maintenance living in a central location, but lease length and potential refurbishment costs are important considerations.
