Set on the south-facing bank of the River Kennet, this three-bedroom apartment offers 824 sq ft of contemporary living in the Huntley Wharf riverside development. The open-plan living room opens onto a private balcony, bringing light and outdoor space to the heart of the home. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite; two further bedrooms suit families, sharers or a home office. A well-fitted contemporary kitchen and generous storage complete the internal layout.
Residents benefit from a 12-hour concierge, co-working studio, planned gym and an on-site day nursery, creating a walkable, amenity-rich environment. Transport links are excellent: Reading Station is a ten-minute walk with fast trains to London and the Elizabeth Line for wider connectivity. Local attractions include the Oracle shopping centre, diverse dining options and the Kennet & Avon Canal towpath for riverside walks.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold (995 years remaining) with council tax classed as moderate. The neighbourhood is inner-city and described as a multicultural student area with higher local crime levels; buyers should consider this when assessing evening safety and tenant mix. The apartment is average-sized for three bedrooms at 824 sq ft, so some rooms are compact compared with larger suburban houses.
This apartment suits buyers seeking an active urban riverside lifestyle—commuters, professionals and investors looking for a well-located, amenity-led home close to central Reading. It offers turnkey contemporary living with straightforward potential for rental or family use, while buyers who prioritise low-crime, suburban peace may prefer a different location.
