Summary - Flat 3, 1 Gweal Avenue RG2 0FP
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain free, long lease low-maintenance living close to shops and transport links.
Chain-free sale with an exceptionally long 979-year lease
Set within the established Kennet Island development, this immaculate one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, low-maintenance home or rental opportunity. The flat is well presented with a modern fitted kitchen, a double bedroom with built-in storage, and double glazing throughout. A very long lease and chain-free sale remove common purchase barriers for first-time buyers and investors.
The building benefits from on-site amenities and good road links to Reading town centre, Green Park and the M4, while local bus services and cycle routes support car-free commuting. The property’s contemporary finish and efficient layout suit a single occupant or couple seeking move-in-ready accommodation in a busy urban area.
Buyers should note material running costs: a relatively high annual service charge and an expensive ground rent. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and local crime levels and wider area deprivation are higher than average—factors that may influence resale or rental demand. There is no flood risk and the lease length is exceptionally long, reducing immediate lease-related costs.
Overall this is a practical, well-kept one-bedroom apartment that suits a first-time buyer wanting low-upkeep city living or an investor prioritising straightforward management. Early inspection will show the tidy presentation and efficient use of the 532 sq ft internal space.
