Description

Sellers view:
"We purchased this property as a brand-new investment and were immediately drawn to its unbeatable location—just a 1-minute walk to Reading station, yet on the quiet side, away from the hustle and bustle.

Since purchase, we have maintained the property in excellent condition, ensuring it remains in top order. It has been a fantastic investment for us, with a yield exceeding 7%, and tenants have always been easy to find due to its prime location and modern appeal.

We're sad to let it go, but we’re confident the new owners will appreciate both the convenience and the value this property offers."

• Gas central heating for efficiency and comfort throughout the year.
• Spacious double bedroom with built-in wardrobes for ample storage.
• A sizeable utility cupboard, perfect for additional storage.
