Summary - 51 FLAT 2 ARGYLE ROAD READING RG1 7YL
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable inner-city flat with parking and a very long lease, ideal for first buyers.
Ground-floor one-bedroom, 580 sq ft, comfortable living space
This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers straightforward, ready-to-move-in living within easy reach of Reading town centre. A double bedroom with built-in storage, a spacious reception room and a modern kitchen and bathroom make it a practical home for a single professional or couple. The 580 sq ft layout feels comfortably proportioned for its type.
Practical benefits include off-street residential and visitor parking, a very long lease (987 years) under a share of freehold arrangement, and fast broadband — useful for remote working. The building’s period construction gives character, while double glazing (installed before 2002) reduces noise and drafts compared with single glazing.
Be frank about local context: the area is urban with a high crime score and higher deprivation indicators. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, so heating may be less efficient and could benefit from future improvement works. Council tax is inexpensive, which helps running costs.
This property suits first-time buyers or investors seeking an affordable central Reading base with immediate rental or owner-occupation potential. It’s well-situated for shops, transport links and several well-rated local primary schools, but buyers should factor in area-related considerations and possible energy-efficiency upgrades.
