Summary - Garden Flat, 307 Oxford Road RG30 1AU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free commuter flat with private garden and parking, strong rental potential.
Approx 393 sq ft one-bed ground-floor apartment
A well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom apartment just 100 metres from Reading West Station, offering immediate commuter convenience and low-maintenance living. The open-plan reception with a modern fitted kitchen and a recently refitted shower room make the flat move-in ready. A private rear garden with new decking and a valuable off-road parking space add practical outdoor and parking benefits rarely found at this price.
The lease has been extended to around 200 years with zero ground rent, removing a common first-time buyer worry and strengthening long-term resale or letting prospects. Recent upgrades include modern kitchen fittings, replacement storage heaters and double glazing (pre-2002), supporting easy occupation or swift rental. At a reported rental yield in excess of 7% this is an attractive option for buy-to-let investors seeking a compact, reliable asset near transport links.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (approximately 393 sq ft) and best suited to a single occupant or couple; internal storage is limited. Heating is electric storage heaters rather than gas, and the property is in an area with higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators. There is an average service charge of about £2,200 per year to cover communal maintenance; prospective purchasers should check exact inclusions and any upcoming costs.
Offered chain-free and recently renovated, this flat represents an affordable entry into Reading’s property market for first-time buyers or a straightforward, lettable investment for landlords who value proximity to Reading West, local amenities and quick access to the town centre and M4 links.
