Shared-ownership 2-bed with allocated parking and low running costs.
Bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment with open-plan living
This bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Spencers Wood offers an open-plan living area, separate modern kitchen and allocated off-street parking — a practical, low-maintenance home for first-time buyers and small families. Built in the early 2000s, the flat benefits from double glazing, gas central heating, an Energy Performance rating of B and fast broadband, making it comfortable and energy-efficient from day one.
The property is offered through Shared Ownership with a minimum 5% deposit option, which can help buyers access the market with a smaller upfront sum. Monthly service charge is £130.06 (below average) and council tax is described as cheap, both supporting lower running costs. Communal grounds and nearby play and leisure amenities suit family life, while good bus links and road access connect to Reading and surrounding stations.
Important practical points: this is a leasehold, shared ownership home — purchasers must meet allocation rules and confirm eligibility. The single bathroom and first-floor layout should be considered for buyers needing more space or ground-floor access. Prospective buyers are advised to check mortgage availability for Shared Ownership and to obtain legal and financial advice about the leasehold terms before committing.
Overall, this well-kept, modern apartment represents an accessible entry into a very affluent, family-oriented area with good schools nearby. It’s a straightforward, low-maintenance purchase for someone seeking a practical base with easy travel connections to Reading.
