Light, low-maintenance city living describes this one-bedroom apartment in the Verto building, sized at about 527 sq ft. The open-plan living area has engineered oak flooring and opens onto a balcony with canal views — a useful private outdoor spot in an inner-city setting. The kitchen is compact and fully integrated, and the bathroom benefits from ceramic tiling and underfloor heating.
Residents have secure bicycle storage, a residential gym, lift access and a concierge-style entrance lobby. The property is chain free and comes with a long lease (approximately 243 years remaining), making it straightforward to purchase for first-time buyers or investors seeking a central-reading rental. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and the building sits close to Reading station and shopping amenities.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an average annual service charge around £3,000 and ground rent about £350. The building sits in a multicultural, student-heavy neighbourhood and recorded local crime levels are high, which may affect some buyers’ preferences and rental profiles. The apartment is average-sized and best suited to singles or couples rather than families.
Overall, the flat offers modern finishes, useful communal amenities and strong transport links, but budget for ongoing service charges and consider the urban, lively context when deciding whether it meets your needs.
