This ground-floor maisonette sits a short walk from Reading town centre and Reading mainline station, making it ideal for first-time buyers who prioritise location and a straightforward commute. The layout is open-plan with a living room that opens through French doors onto a small patio, creating extra usable outdoor space for urban living. Allocated off-street parking plus visitor parking is a practical urban benefit.
The interior has been recently redecorated throughout, presenting clean, neutral decor and well-proportioned rooms across approximately 491 sq ft. Service charge and council tax are described as below-average/cheap, and the lease carries about 89 years remaining with a peppercorn ground rent—important facts for long-term planning and mortgage considerations.
Practical drawbacks are factual and should be considered: heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas equivalents; the property is leasehold, and the remaining term (89 years) may affect mortgage options and future value for some buyers. Overall, this compact one-bedroom maisonette offers low-maintenance city living, strong transport links, and immediate availability with no onward chain.
