This second-floor one-bedroom apartment on Kennet Island provides light-filled, modern living in a well-serviced development. The open-plan kitchen/living area and generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobes suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a move-in-ready home with on-site amenities.
Residents benefit from allocated parking, landscaped communal grounds, and convenient on-site facilities including a café, gym and convenience store. Transport links to Reading town centre, Green Park and the M4 (J11) make commuting straightforward, while the property is offered chain free for a quicker purchase.
Buyers should note practical costs and local context: this is a leasehold flat with a long lease (c.980 years) but an unusually high ground rent figure recorded. The annual service charge is typical for the development. The area records higher-than-average crime rates and local deprivation indicators; broadband and mobile signals are average.
Overall, the apartment is a compact, contemporary home with clear rental appeal and commuter convenience. It will suit someone prioritising location, amenity access and low refurbishment need, but applicants must factor ongoing leasehold charges and local safety considerations into their decision.
