The listing price of £140,000 for a one-bedroom apartment is relatively reasonable, especially given its proximity to amenities and transport links. The lack of information regarding the square footage of the apartment makes precise comparison difficult, but other nearby one-bedroom properties appear to be listed for considerably more. However, being a retirement property does influence the price, making a higher price less justified.

The property appears to be in reasonably good condition. While the interior photographs show a well-maintained and decorated space, there is no evidence of recent renovations. The exterior shows a well-maintained building, but lacking in certain updates. An average condition score is given in the absence of any major apparent issues.

The property benefits from being close to local amenities, bus routes, and approximately 2 miles from Reading town centre. The proximity to several well-regarded schools (The Holy Brook School and Manor Primary School both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) also adds to its appeal. However, the lack of precise details regarding the immediate surroundings (e.g., proximity to shops, parks etc.) and the distance from Reading town centre prevents a higher score.

The property does include access to communal gardens, which is a positive. However, it’s crucial to note the lack of private outdoor space. The communal gardens are maintained, but the plot size is listed as 0.00 sqft. This absence of private land limits the score.
