Offered to the market with no onward chain and situated within a short walk from Reading town centre and mainline railway station, this one bedroom apartment is ideal for first time buyers and investment buyers alike.
Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom apartment in Reading, Berkshire, is situated on Blenheim Place, offering a convenient location close to Reading town centre and the mainline railway station. Its proximity to several well-regarded primary schools adds to its appeal. The apartment itself appears clean and functional, based on the provided photographs, with a classic, if somewhat dated, interior design. The kitchen and bathroom appear adequately equipped but lack the stylish, contemporary appeal of many recently renovated properties. A noticeable feature is the absence of any external space such as a garden or balcony. This is a significant limitation for buyers and a potential deal-breaker, given the premiums paid for outdoor space in many Reading properties. In terms of price, the £165,000 asking price aligns with prices of comparable properties in the area, particularly one-bedroom apartments in this location. However, the lack of outdoor space may influence whether buyers see this as a particularly strong investment or simply a reasonable price within a competitive market. Overall, it is a solid investment for first-time buyers or investors seeking a central location with easy access to amenities, public transport and schooling; yet the lack of outdoor space is a significant consideration and limits the overall desirability and potential resale value.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. Disclamer: This is our opition and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research.
