Summary - Carraway Street, Discovery House South, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 RG1 3GQ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free two-bed with private terrace and long lease, minutes from Reading station.
First-floor apartment with lift access and private terrace
A contemporary first-floor apartment offering low-maintenance city living in the heart of Reading. The bright open-plan living space opens onto a private terrace overlooking generous, well-kept communal gardens — a rare outdoor amenity for a central apartment. Built in 2023, the property feels modern throughout and benefits from lift access, secure communal grounds and easy walking distance to the mainline station and town centre facilities.
Practical details are favourable for buyers seeking a straightforward move: the sale is chain-free, the lease is very long at 995 years and the layout includes two comfortable bedrooms and a single stylish bathroom. The apartment is compact at 563 sq ft, so it suits purchasers wanting a low-maintenance home, city professionals, or investors targeting central rental stock.
Buyers should note the material facts plainly: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge (about 2,660) and a small ground rent ( 250). Heating is provided by a community scheme, which can limit individual control and may affect running costs. The immediate neighbourhood is an inner-city, multicultural student area with higher crime levels than average — important for buyers evaluating safety and rental yield.
Overall this is a modern, convenient central-reading apartment with an unusual private terrace and long lease. It suits anyone prioritising location, low upkeep and excellent transport links, while those seeking larger living space, full control over heating, or a quieter neighbourhood should consider alternatives.
