This two-bedroom new-build apartment in central Reading offers a contemporary, low-maintenance home ready on completion in 2025. At around 699 sq ft the layout suits first-time buyers or commuters seeking easy access to the Elizabeth Line and local amenities. The open-plan kitchen comes with integrated appliances, marble backsplash and recessed lighting; the property is finished to a modern specification throughout.
Practical positives include a 999-year lease and fast broadband and mobile signal, ideal for remote working. The development is within walking distance of Reading station, the River Thames and local shops, cafés and leisure options. Two bathrooms and efficient room planning make this a comfortable city base with good onward transport links to London.
Notable considerations: the property is leasehold and carries a service charge of £2,577 (average) — factor ongoing costs into your budget. The surrounding area records very high crime levels and is classed as deprived, which may affect long-term resale or rental premiums. Living-room space is small-to-medium, so the apartment is best for buyers who prioritise location and specification over generous living-room proportions.
