Summary - 40, CAVERSHAM ROAD RG1 7EB
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Turnkey two-bedroom apartment close to Reading station and central amenities.
Brand-new ground-floor 2-bed apartment with high-spec designer fittings
Open-plan living area with integrated appliances and wood-effect flooring
Long lease: 999 years — strong long-term tenure security
Allocated parking available at extra cost (not included)
Service charge approximately £2,419 per year
Living-room window faces internal brick façade — limited outward view
No private garden; communal urban setting typical of city centre flats
Local crime level reported as very high — consider security/insurance
This newly built ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a turnkey city-centre home finished to a high specification. The open-plan living/kitchen creates an efficient, modern layout with designer fittings, integrated appliances and wood-effect flooring — ready for occupation in September 2025. A long 999-year lease removes typical leasehold worries for decades.
Practical advantages include a generous lounge, en-suite to the main bedroom, and a separate main bathroom. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working; Reading station and frequent trains reach London Paddington in around 25 minutes, making this a strong commuter option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Notable costs and considerations are clear: allocated parking is available but incurs an extra charge, and an average service charge of £2,419pa applies. The main living window faces a neighbouring brick façade, so outward views are limited and there is no private outdoor space. Local crime levels are reported as very high — buyers should factor local safety measures and insurance into plans.
Overall, this apartment is best for buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in urban home close to transport and amenities, or investors seeking a modern city-centre rental. The property’s new-build specification reduces immediate maintenance needs, but the high service charge and urban setting mean ongoing running costs and local environment should be considered before committing.
