Ideal starter flat, freshly refurbished and ready to move into.
Top-floor studio with open-plan living and bedroom layout
A newly refurbished top-floor studio in the heart of Reading, offered with a very long lease and immediate occupancy. The open-plan living/bedroom benefits from a refitted kitchen and bathroom, double glazing and fresh finishes — ideal for someone wanting a low-entry purchase close to town amenities.
Practical positives include off-street parking, communal gardens and easy walking access to Reading town centre and The Oracle’s shops, bars and riverside. The apartment’s small footprint (around 419 sq ft) makes it straightforward to maintain and attractive for buy-to-let or first-time buyers seeking affordability.
Buyers should note heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can mean higher running costs. The property sits in an area with higher deprivation indices, though local crime is low and transport, mobile signal and broadband are good. The long lease (c. 959 years remaining) and recent refurbishment reduce immediate major expense risk.
Overall, this compact, modern studio suits first-time buyers or investors wanting a town-centre base with minimal upfront renovation work. Its size and electric heating are the main trade-offs against its central location and long leasehold security.
