Set inside a converted Victorian Gothic Revival church, this two-bedroom apartment blends striking period character with modern renovation. High, arched windows and tall ceilings create dramatic living spaces filled with natural light; the living room keeps original features including a fireplace and hardwood floors. The kitchen combines farmhouse styling with a skylight, exposed beams and a range cooker.
The apartment is chain free with a very long 973-year lease and comes with allocated off-street parking, outside storage and access to a shared rear courtyard. Recent refurbishment means the property is largely move-in ready while retaining authentic architectural detail — a clear draw for buyers who value character plus contemporary finishes.
Located on Donnington Road in a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood close to central Reading, the flat sits within walking distance of local cafes and amenities and near several notable schools including Reading School (outstanding). Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and the area is described as affluent with low crime rates.
Practical costs and considerations are straightforward: the property is a share of freehold, council tax is affordable and the average service charge is £1,920 per year. Buyers wanting absolute quiet should note the local classification as a student neighbourhood, which can bring transient occupancy and daytime activity. Overall, this apartment will suit buyers seeking distinctive character, long lease security and central convenience.
