Summary - Apartment 18 6 High Street, Reading RG1 2EA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Modern two-bedroom flat with long lease and strong buy-to-let potential.
Second-floor two-bedroom apartment with high ceilings and large windows
This recently converted two-bedroom apartment sits on the second floor of an iconic Reading high-street building, completed in 2021. High ceilings, large windows and contemporary finishes give the living space an airy, modern feel while integrated kitchen appliances keep upkeep straightforward. The long lease (about 248 years) offers secure tenure for buyers and investors alike.
The property is well suited to buy-to-let investors or city buyers seeking easy access to transport and town-centre amenities — Reading Station is within walking distance and mobile signal is excellent. Communal courtyard gardens provide limited outdoor space; there is no private garden and external amenity is constrained by the town-centre setting.
Practical costs and neighbourhood realities should be considered. Service charges average £1,926 pa and ground rent is £210 pa. The surrounding area is described as deprived with a very high recorded crime level, and the inner-city location brings typical noise and street activity. Broadband speeds are average, so streaming or home‑office users may want to check exact providers and packages.
Overall, this is a compact, well-finished urban apartment offering strong rental appeal, long lease security and a prominent town-centre address. It will suit investors seeking a central buy-to-let or buyers prioritising location and low immediate renovation needs over private outdoor space.
