The Sellers View
This was the first property I moved into and it has offered everything I needed, all within easy reach. One of the biggest advantages is that the building has a lift, making it incredibly convenient, especially for bringing in heavier items or moving furniture, despite being on the third floor. The communal outdoor space is a real bonus too. Positioned at the back of the development, away from the road and car park, it’s a safe area where children can play and run around freely.
The location itself is ideal. There are plenty of nearby shops for everything from groceries to diy, and within a short drive, you have access to all major supermarkets. Whatever your lifestyle, everything is close by. Transport links are another strong point. Situated on a main bus route into Reading town centre, the flat also benefits from being within walking distance of two train stations, each on a different line, offering flexible and easy connections whether you are heading into town or further afield.
Overall, it’s been a fantastic place to live, comfortable, well connected and perfectly located for everyday convenience.
The Agents View
This is a brilliant opportunity for a first time buyer, just as it was for the current owner. The location is incredibly convenient, making it ideal for anyone who wants easy access to excellent local amenities, shops and transport links.
Inside, the flat offers generous space throughout. There are two proper double bedrooms, a modern bathroom and a large reception room that opens onto a private balcony. The adjoining kitchen is well laid out and surprisingly practical, with everything close to hand for everyday cooking. Storage is often overlooked in flats, but not here. The airing cupboard is a decent size and offers that extra bit of useful space we all need. To top it off, the property comes with allocated parking for one vehicle, which is a real bonus in this area.
In short, this is a well presented, well located home that ticks a lot of boxes for a first step onto the property ladder.
Landlords, This Is For You...
Based on a very conservative rental of £1200pcm, the gross annual yield is a staggering 8.47% - This would make an ideal investment purchase!
The Area View
Winslet Place sits just off Oxford Road in West Reading, a well connected spot positioned between the town centre, Tilehurst and Southcote. It is ideally placed for access to the three main roads heading into Reading—Oxford Road, Tilehurst Road and Bath Road—which all link up easily with the A4 and A33, making travel into town or onto the M4 nice and straightforward.
The area has a lot to offer in terms of lifestyle and amenities. There is a real mix of local shops, independent eateries and restaurants along Oxford Road, giving the area a vibrant and diverse feel. Reading West station is within easy reach, with direct trains to both Newbury and London, and several regular bus routes run through the area.
For families, there are some well regarded schools nearby including Wilson Primary and St Edward’s Prep. A large Tesco superstore is close by for the weekly shop, and for a bit of outdoor space, Prospect Park is just around the corner. It is the largest public park in Reading and a great place to unwind.
