Estate Agents View : Georgina & Sarah, Avocado Property Partners Situated in the highly sought-after area of Earley, this beautifully presented ground floor maisonette with its own private front door offers an exceptional opportunity for both first time buyers and property investors looking for strong rental yield and long-term growth.
The property benefits from allocated parking directly outside and a private west-facing rear garden , making it a rare find in this price range.
Internally, the home comprises an entrance hallway with two generous storage cupboards, two double bedrooms, an en-suite shower room to the main bedroom, and a separate bathroom complete with a bath.
The main bedroom features double patio doors leading directly out to the garden, flooding the room with natural light and creating a seamless indoor–outdoor feel.
To the front of the property, the spacious living room flows through to an open-plan kitchen fitted with integrated appliances including an oven and gas hob, plus a freestanding washing machine and fridge/freezer.
There is also additional space for a full-size dishwasher. The low maintenance west-facing garden is ideal for entertaining and enjoying afternoon and evening sun.
With side access and a shed already in place, there is excellent potential to install a home office pod or summer house, significantly increasing the usable space all year round which would be a fantastic lifestyle and value-adding feature.
Importantly, there are no ground rent or service charges , making this an extremely attractive and cost-effective option for money-conscious buyers.

Sellers View: "Why we fell in love with Tiggall Close: It was rare to find a home with the convenience of a safe, friendly close just 10 minutes walk from Earley station and a property that offers all the benefits of a house without the downsides of an apartment (like shared entrances, management committees or maintenance fees, which is a huge time and money saving) Having your own, private front door and parking right outside feels great on busy days, rainy days and when you have shopping to unload!.
A special benefit is the garden, leading from the bedroom (and with handy side access too) which is perfect for lazy Sunday mornings and long summer evenings.
Large enough for a good sized shed it would lend itself to a garden room/office too. We're only the second owners since it was first built, and it's been loved and well cared for in that time.
Ready now for it's third lucky owners to call it home."
