Situated on the ground floor of the Cranford Mews development, this well-presented one-bedroom apartment offers compact, low-maintenance living with a private garden and allocated parking. Its 41.3 sq.m (444 sq.ft) layout is straightforward — entrance hall, living room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom — suited to a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor seeking easy access to Reading town and the mainline station.
The private garden and off-street allocated parking are standout practical benefits rarely found at this price and size in RG1. The location is highly convenient: a short walk to Reading town centre and fast rail links to London Paddington, which supports both rental demand and resale prospects. The building appears well maintained and the apartment is presented in contemporary condition.
Be clear on the limitations: the flat is compact and best for those comfortable with smaller living spaces, and heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives. The immediate area records above-average crime and broader measures show local deprivation, which potential buyers and tenants should weigh when considering long-term plans. The property is leasehold (long lease remaining: 959 years) and sits in an inner-city, mixed urban neighbourhood.
Overall, this is a practical, affordable entry to Reading’s rental and owner-occupier markets. It will suit first-time buyers seeking a manageable home close to the station, professionals wanting commuter convenience, or investors looking for a straightforward one-bed with outdoor space and parking — provided they accept the compact footprint and electric heating.
