Set within the modern Avenue Heights development, this two-bedroom apartment offers straightforward, comfortable living close to Reading town centre and excellent transport links. The bright living room and separate kitchen provide a practical layout for daily life, while two double bedrooms suit a small family, sharers or first-time buyers wanting more space.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking, secure entry and low service charge and ground rent. The long lease (166 years remaining) gives long-term security often sought by buyers. The property is an average-sized apartment at about 713 sq ft, with double glazing and contemporary bathroom fittings.
Buyers should note the flat is heated by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas systems, and the glazing predates 2002. The local area is a cosmopolitan, student-influenced neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but statistics indicate higher local crime levels — worth considering for those prioritising security. Overall this is a practical, well-located apartment with good onward availability and scope for modest updating.
