Summary - Station Road, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 RG1 1LG
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Ideal for commuters or investors seeking central location and immediate occupancy.
Chain-free two-bedroom apartment, third-floor position
This third-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of Reading town centre, a short walk from Reading Station and local amenities. The open-plan living area and contemporary kitchen deliver a light, modern feel across the 617 sq ft layout, while two bathrooms add practical convenience for sharers or guests. Offered chain-free with a long lease, it suits buyers seeking immediate occupation or a rental investment close to transport links.
Notable running costs and practical limitations are set out clearly: the property is leasehold with approximately 115–116 years remaining, an annual service charge of around £3,028 and ground rent of £275 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters (no gas central heating) which will increase energy bills compared with mains gas systems. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, which may affect home working or streaming without alternative arrangements.
The location has strong commuter and retail appeal, being immediately adjacent to shops, restaurants and the River Thames, and close to several good schools. However, the area records a very high crime level and is described as a deprived, inner-city multicultural student neighbourhood — factors buyers should weigh when considering long-term living or letting prospects.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented flat for buyers prioritising location and convenience over low running costs. It offers straightforward rental or owner-occupier potential, but budget for higher service charges, electric heating costs and plan for broadband solutions if needed.
