This south-facing two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Reading offers bright, low-maintenance city-centre living. The open-plan living/kitchen opens onto a private balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens, making it a relaxed spot for morning sun and evening meals. The master bedroom includes built-in storage and an en-suite, while a second double and a separate bathroom complete the accommodation — all within an average-sized 640 sq ft floorplate.
Practical conveniences include an allocated undercroft parking space, additional built-in cupboards and a utility cupboard in the hallway, plus good ventilation and fast broadband — useful for commuters and home workers. The property sits roughly five minutes’ walk from Reading town centre and Reading mainline station, placing shops, bars and transport links within easy reach.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat (very long unexpired term ~992 years) with an annual service charge around £2,500 and ground rent of £225. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives; prospective buyers may want to review recent running costs. Crime levels are average for the area.
Overall, the apartment suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a modern, low-upkeep city-centre home with parking and strong transport links. It’s presented in move-in condition but offers limited internal space compared with larger suburban homes and relies on electric heating for warmth.
