Summary - County House Kings Road, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 RG1 4NN
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free city living with parking and long lease.
Fifth-floor one-bedroom apartment with lift access
This compact one-bedroom apartment sits on the fifth floor of a modern mid-terrace block in Reading town centre, offered with no onward chain. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from large windows and city views, delivering bright, low-maintenance living across 414 sq ft. The property includes an allocated off-street parking space and a share of freehold with an exceptionally long 990-year lease.
Practical positives include immediate access to shops, restaurants, gyms and the mainline station, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — handy for commuters or buyers working from home. The finish is contemporary throughout, with wood flooring and modern fittings; the building is served by a lift for upper-floor convenience.
Notable considerations are factual and important: the flat is small and best suited to a single occupant or couple; heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating; and the area records a high crime level. Service charges average around £2,200 per year and council tax sits in Band B. These factors affect running costs and suitability for some buyers.
Overall this is a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a central, low-upkeep apartment with long lease security and parking. Buyers wanting larger accommodation, gas heating, or a quieter neighbourhood should note the size, heating type and local crime statistics before viewing.
