A modern two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Reading, built in 2020 and offered with an exceptionally long lease (c.990 years). The open-plan living space spills onto a balcony and faces communal gardens, giving a bright, low-maintenance home in a city-centre setting. Secure undercroft parking and fast broadband make this practical for commuters and professionals.
The property sits in an inner-city, multicultural neighbourhood near Reading town centre and the mainline station — highly convenient for travel, shops and local amenities. Service charge and a community heating arrangement are in place, so running costs are partly communal; Council Tax Band D applies.
Notable positives include modern construction, an almost-new lease and private parking. Downsides to weigh are the relatively small overall size (c.555 sq ft), a high reported local crime level and a substantial annual service charge. The apartment will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance city property close to transport links, provided they are comfortable with the area profile and communal costs.
