Summary - Ducketts Mead, Shinfield, Reading RG2 9GY
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain free one-bed with garage and parking — strong buy-to-let potential..
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment, approx. 548 sq ft
A ground-floor, one-bedroom apartment in a modern red-brick development, offered chain free and presented as a straightforward investment or first home. The layout is efficient (approximately 548 sq ft) with a separate kitchen, full bathroom and a comfortable reception room that benefits from good natural light.
Practical positives include allocated off-street parking and an integral garage — useful for tenant appeal or owners with a car — together with low-maintenance communal grounds. The building is contemporary (post-2007), double-glazed and externally well kept, reducing immediate maintenance needs.
Important financial and tenure facts should be noted: the property is leasehold with about 81 years remaining and a very high ground rent of £2,200 (annual). Service charges and remaining lease costs will materially affect value and rental yield and should be reviewed before purchase. There is no private garden and external amenity space is limited, so the home will suit single occupants, couples, downsizers or buy-to-let buyers rather than families seeking outdoor space.
Overall, this is a compact, low-maintenance apartment in a sought-after suburb, offering clear rental potential and convenience. Buyers should factor in the short-moderate lease length and high ground rent when assessing long-term value and investment return.
