This spacious one-bedroom corner apartment offers nearly 600 sq ft of contemporary living in the heart of Reading. Positioned to the rear of the building, the home is tucked away from the main road and benefits from bright, open-plan living with high-specification appliances and modern finishes. An optional underground parking space is available and the flat includes off-street parking access.
The location is a major convenience: a five-minute walk to Reading railway station with direct Elizabeth Line links into central London, and local shops, cafés and the River Thames within easy reach. The development is new-build with a long 999-year lease, appealing to buyers seeking a low-maintenance modern home close to transport and amenities.
Buyers should note material negatives: the local area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived, which may affect desirability and resale. The leasehold has an unusually high ground rent of £2,211 per year. These factors should be weighed against the apartment’s size, specification and central commuter advantages.
