Bright twelfth-floor apartment with 667 sq ft of open-plan living, ideal for buyers prioritising central convenience and low moving friction. The modern, newly renovated interior includes two double bedrooms, an en-suite to the master and a second bathroom — ready to occupy with no onward chain.
Practical features include an undercroft parking space, lift access, and a long 241-year lease that offers ownership security. The building has maintained communal areas, a gated residents' courtyard and a concierge desk, supporting easy city living a short walk from Reading town centre and the mainline station (Crossrail access).
Be realistic about the location: the property sits in an inner-city, multicultural student neighbourhood with higher local crime levels and an area classified as deprived. Heating runs via a community scheme and there is an annual ground rent of £350 — factors buyers should factor into running costs.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers or investors who value transport links and a modern, low-maintenance home in the heart of Reading. It offers immediate occupation and rental potential, but buyers seeking quiet, green or suburban surroundings should look elsewhere.
