This attractively presented two-bedroom ground-floor flat sits in a Victorian end-terrace with high ceilings and period brickwork. Recently renovated, the accommodation includes a good-sized lounge/diner with direct access to well-kept communal gardens, a fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. At about 802 sq ft, the layout feels spacious and benefits from modern finishes alongside original character.
The location offers excellent access to Reading town centre, the university, Royal Berkshire Hospital and the M4, making it suitable for first-time buyers seeking convenience or investors targeting student and professional lettings. Practical features include residents’ off-street parking, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and strong mobile signal.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with a long lease (around 152 years) but carries relatively high annual costs: service charge and ground rent are both stated at £2,300 per year. The building is solid brick and likely lacks cavity insulation, which may affect running costs and could be something to address over time. No onward chain makes for a straightforward move, but purchasers should confirm service-charge details during exchange.
