This well-presented first-floor apartment sits at the end of a tree-lined cul-de-sac west of Reading, offering bright dual-aspect living space and two double bedrooms. The kitchen and bathroom have been recently refitted, creating a move-in-ready home suitable for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor. Two allocated parking spaces — including a sheltered car port — are a rare practical benefit in this area.
Practical details are straightforward: the property is share of freehold with c.99 years remaining on the lease and an annual service charge around £1,802. Heating is via electric storage heaters; these are functional but typically cost more than gas alternatives and may suit buyers prepared for higher running costs or considering future upgrades.
The apartment sits within well-kept communal grounds and is a short distance from Reading town centre, Reading West and Reading mainline stations, making it convenient for commuters. Broadband and mobile signal are both strong, while there is no flood risk. Note that local crime levels are above average and the immediate neighbourhood includes a mix of students and migrant families, which will suit buyers looking for an active, diverse area.
