This split-level two-bedroom maisonette offers a private front door and a reception room that looks out over the development’s well-kept communal gardens. At about 722 sq ft, the layout gives a sense of space for a flat in this popular Prospect Park location, with off-street parking and easy access to Reading West station.
The property sits on a long lease (999 years from 1970; c. 944 years remaining), making it straightforward for mortgage and resale purposes. Constructed in the late 1970s with timber frame and double glazing, the building is typical of the era and presents good potential to update the kitchen and bathroom to contemporary tastes.
Practical benefits include mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working. The area is well served by schools, local amenities and green communal grounds, attractive to first-time buyers and buyers seeking a manageable home close to Reading’s transport links.
Notable considerations: the immediate neighbourhood records above-average crime levels, and the block’s 1970s construction means buyers should expect era-typical maintenance and an inspection of the building fabric. There is a single bathroom and average-sized rooms, so buyers seeking larger family accommodation may prefer a different property.
