Practical benefits include allocated covered parking, communal landscaped grounds and direct proximity to a children’s park. Transport links are strong — Green Park station, M4 J11 and regular buses to Reading centre are all close by. Broadband is superfast (FTTP) and mobile signal is excellent.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with 117 years remaining, an annual service charge of around £1,200 and a ground rent of £250 (next review 2027, reviewed every ten years in line with RPI). Chain free sale reduces transaction delay but buyers should factor these ongoing costs into affordability.
With estimated rental potential of £1,600–£1,700 pcm and nearby retail and leisure amenities, the flat suits first-time buyers wanting a well-connected starter home or investors seeking straightforward rental stock. The apartment is presented as a modern, low-maintenance option, but tenants or owners should budget for the service charge and ground rent.
