This top-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits in a small block of just six homes at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, offering privacy and a secure feel ideal for first-time buyers. The large living room looks out over well-kept communal gardens, creating a calm, green outlook while the modern open-plan kitchen includes integrated appliances for immediate move-in convenience. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite; a second bedroom suits guests, a home office or nursery.
Practical running costs and tenure are clear: the property is leasehold with 108 years remaining, an average service charge of £1,560 pa and a small ground rent of £250 pa. Council tax is described as affordable and the EPC rating is B, reflecting reasonable energy performance. Allocated parking sits directly opposite the front door and the development benefits from secure gated access to enclosed communal gardens.
Location works well for everyday life and commuting — Earley station, local shops and amenities are close by, with very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds. At about 812 sq ft, the flat provides an efficient layout with two bathrooms and practical built-in storage, suited to buyers seeking a low-maintenance home or a buy-to-let opportunity in a very affluent area.
There are no notable flooding risks and the building dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s, meaning modern construction standards and double glazing (installation date unknown). Buyers should factor leasehold costs and ongoing service charges into affordability calculations but will find a tidy, ready-to-use apartment in a quiet, well-connected neighbourhood.
