This property is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment located in Whitley, Reading. The apartment is modern and well-maintained, as seen in the provided images. It benefits from a balcony. While the plot size is zero, the apartment is part of a larger development with communal green spaces. The location is convenient, with nearby schools (Whitley Park Primary and The Palmer Primary Academy) and transportation links (Reading train station approximately 3km away). The list price of £230,000 is slightly below the average price for the area (£317,942), and considerably lower than the average price per sqft (£333). However, comparable nearby apartments are listed at similar or higher prices, suggesting the list price may represent good value. Further investigation into the specific building and any associated service charges would be beneficial.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
