Set on Crane Wharf in Reading town centre, this distinctive cottage-style end-terrace offers river-front living with rare mooring rights and a private roof terrace that captures panoramic water views. The layout is a thoughtful multi-storey plan with an open-plan kitchen and living area, a well-fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a stone-topped island, and a master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a luxury en-suite shower room.
Practical features include private off-street parking for multiple vehicles, fast FTTP broadband, mains gas central heating and double glazing. The property is offered freehold and chain free, simplifying a swift purchase for its next owner. At about 913 sq ft, the home suits those seeking a compact but roomy town-centre base with character and waterside appeal.
Buyers should note the immediate location is an inner-city, multicultural, student-heavy neighbourhood with a very high local crime rating and signs of area deprivation. The plot and outside space are modest, and the setting is urban rather than suburban tranquillity. These factors may influence suitability for families seeking quiet suburbs or purchasers prioritising low-crime neighbourhoods.
Overall this is a strong choice for someone who values central riverside living, unique character and convenient parking, and who is comfortable with an inner-city environment. The combination of roof terrace, mooring rights and town-centre convenience will appeal to buyers wanting lifestyle and access rather than large gardens or rural quiet.
