Summary - Flat 9 Riverside View, 5-9, Berkeley Avenue RG1 6FF
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Contemporary flat with balcony, parking and excellent transport links.
Fourth-floor apartment with residents' lift
This fourth-floor modern apartment offers a spacious 847 sq ft layout with an open-plan living, dining and kitchen flowing onto a larger-than-average balcony overlooking landscaped communal riverside grounds. High-end finishes and integrated appliances create a turnkey feel, with two double bedrooms both served by en-suites or a main bathroom — a practical layout for first-time buyers or investors seeking strong lettability.
The development sits behind electronic gates with secure video entry, allocated undercroft parking plus visitor spaces, and lift access to the upper floors. Reading town centre and the mainline railway station are within walking distance, giving fast transport links and local amenities close at hand. The long lease (993 years) removes short-lease concerns commonly associated with new-build flats.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of approximately £3,300 and ground rent of about £350. Local indicators show above-average crime and some area deprivation, which may affect resale or rental profiling; purchasers should factor these into budgeting and insurance. There is no flood risk recorded for the site.
Overall, this well-finished apartment suits a first-time buyer wanting contemporary, low-maintenance living with outside space and parking. It will also appeal to investors looking for a modern two-bed close to Reading station, though running costs and local area factors should be reviewed before committing.
