Set over split levels, this two-bedroom maisonette offers practical city-centre living with strong transport links and useful extras. The 22ft lounge/diner, modern fitted kitchen and bathroom create a comfortable, move-in-ready core, while double glazing and gas central heating provide everyday efficiency. A private entrance, garage in a nearby block and communal garden are rare conveniences for this location.
The property sits within easy walking distance of Reading and West Reading stations, the Oracle shopping complex and supermarkets — ideal for commuters and first-time buyers who prioritise accessibility. The generous 244-year lease and chain-free sale reduce purchase complexity and give long-term security for owners or investors.
Be candid about the context: the immediate area scores high for crime and broad indicators of deprivation. The building dates from the mid-20th century and, while many interiors are modern, some elements (unknown double-glazing install date, mid-century construction) may benefit from ongoing maintenance or selective updating. Council tax is low, and broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting home-working.
This home suits a buyer seeking an affordable, well-located starter property or a buy-to-let with room to add value through cosmetic improvements. Early viewing is recommended to assess how the communal setting and local environment match your needs.
