Property Oracle says ..

This one-bedroom flat is located in Abbey Square, Reading, a convenient location with easy access to Reading Train Station (0.65km). The property benefits from being close to several schools, including The Deenway Montessori School (0.50km) and Kendrick School (0.56km), making it attractive to families or young professionals. The flat itself appears modern and well-maintained from the provided images, although some minor cosmetic updates might enhance its appeal. The kitchen and bathroom seem functional but could benefit from a refresh. The lack of plot size is a significant drawback, but the property does include a small balcony overlooking a canal, offering some outdoor space. The list price of £250,000 is below the average price for the area (£340,786), suggesting it could represent good value, especially considering its proximity to amenities and transport links. However, the relatively small size (579.10 sqft) compared to the area average (896 sqft) should be taken into account. The lack of information on the condition of the property’s structure and any potential hidden issues prevents a more definitive conclusion on price.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
