Near-new riverside apartment with balcony, parking and long lease — ideal for commuters.
Fourth-floor riverside apartment with east-facing balcony
Set on the fourth floor of a modern riverside development, this lightly used two-bedroom apartment (built 2019) offers bright, dual-aspect living and an east-facing balcony overlooking the River Kennet and communal grounds. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen features high-quality finishes — quartz worktops, built-in appliances, solid oak doors and upgraded fittings — and the master bedroom has an en-suite and fitted wardrobes. The home has been used sparingly since new and is presented in near-new condition.
Practical benefits include gated, electronically operated access, allocated under-croft parking, a residents’ lift, secure video entry and a long lease (993 years). It is chain-free and positioned for easy access to Reading town centre, transport links and local shops — an appealing option for first-time buyers or city commuters.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with an average service charge of about £3,300 per year and ground rent around £350 per year. The wider neighbourhood records above-average crime and has pockets of deprivation; purchasers should consider local safety and amenity factors. Flood risk is low and the apartment has modern heating via a boiler and radiators.
Overall this apartment combines contemporary riverside living, strong commuter convenience and high-spec interior upgrades, balanced by recurring service charges and local area considerations. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the light, balcony views and quality finishes in person.
