This chain-free, two-bedroom apartment sits a short walk from Reading mainline station, making it a strong buy-to-let or commuter buy. The flat offers two double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en suite), a bright open-plan living/dining room and two balconies that capture town-centre views. Allocated off-street parking and a long lease (114 years remaining) add practical appeal for purchasers.
The interior is contemporary with laminate flooring, fitted kitchen units and integrated appliances, presenting as a low-maintenance home ready for immediate occupation or rental. The property forms part of a modern multi-storey block served by a community heating scheme; council tax is described as affordable, and mobile and broadband connections are excellent.
Be clear about the setting: the outlook is urban, facing street and adjoining commercial/warehouse buildings rather than open countryside, and the wider area is classified as deprived with a high local crime rate. Ground rent is presently £440 (average) and the tenure is leasehold — these are important for budgeting and landlord/investor considerations.
Overall this is a pragmatic town-centre apartment that suits investors seeking tenant demand from students and young professionals, or first-time buyers wanting commuting convenience. It offers immediate usability and rental potential but buyers should factor in the urban setting, community heating arrangement, and the ground-rent/leasehold costs when assessing value.
