Summary - Carraway Street, Reading, United Kingdom, RG1 RG1 3FY
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Upper-floor home with private balcony, secure parking and speedy commuter links.
Seventh-floor apartment with lift access and river-facing private balcony
This modern seventh-floor apartment offers an efficient, low-maintenance base in the heart of Reading — ideal for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. Built in 2020, the flat benefits from a bright open-plan living space that flows to a private balcony with clear river views and a lift to all floors. Secure off-street parking and well-kept communal gardens add practical daily comforts.
The kitchen is contemporary and ready to use with integrated appliances; the bathroom is stylish and the bedroom is a comfortable size for a one‑bed property. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the location is exceptionally convenient for commuters, being close to the station and town centre amenities. There is no flood risk and the long lease (984 years) provides tenure security.
Notable running costs and considerations are clear: the property is leasehold with an average annual service charge of £2,964, and heating is provided via a community scheme which may limit individual control and costs. The local area is a busy inner-city location with higher crime levels than average, so buyers should weigh proximity and convenience against that context.
For buyers seeking a modern, low-upkeep home or an easy-to-manage investment near transport links, this apartment presents strong convenience and rental appeal. Viewings are recommended to assess how the size and finish match your needs and to clarify service arrangements and communal obligations.
