This top-floor, two-bedroom apartment in central Reading offers a modern, low-maintenance home or a straightforward investment. The open-plan living/kitchen with Velux and Juliet balcony brings light into the compact living space, while two bathrooms (including an en-suite) add practical convenience for sharers or couples.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, secure telecom entry, and well-kept communal grounds. The home is being fitted with a new heating system (air source heat pump with underfloor heating), reducing future running costs and improving comfort. The flat is chain free and sits on a long lease of around 110+ years.
Notable negatives are factual and modest: this is a leasehold flat with annual service charge and ground rent (circa £1,100 and £200 respectively), there is no private garden, and living spaces are compact (approximately 707 sq ft). Buyers should also factor typical communal maintenance obligations.
Overall this property suits first-time buyers wanting a ready-to-move-in city base or investors seeking a centrally located, easy-to-manage rental. Its proximity to Reading town centre, university and transport links supports rental appeal and day-to-day convenience.
