This contemporary one-bedroom apartment at Bankside Gardens offers move-in ready waterside living with practical modern finishes. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen opens onto a private balcony, adding valuable outdoor space and natural light to the 467 ft² layout. Integrated energy-efficient appliances, fitted bedroom wardrobe with mirrored sliding doors, and an NHBC guarantee reduce immediate maintenance and running costs.
The development includes a residents’ club with gym, cinema and co-working space, plus landscaped lakeside surroundings and easy access to Green Park Village station and Reading Central. The property is offered via Shared Ownership (75% share price £208,125; full value £277,500), making it a realistic route onto the ladder for many first-time buyers. A limited-time incentive offers £1,500 towards buying costs on selected homes reserved between 12–31 October.
Be aware this is a leasehold Shared Ownership home: you will pay a subsidised rent on the unsold share and ongoing service charges for communal heating and facilities. The wider area statistics note higher crime levels and local deprivation, which may affect some buyers’ preferences. The apartment’s compact size suits singles or couples but may feel limited for those needing more space.
Overall this flat is a practical, low-maintenance starter home in a modern development with commuter links and lifestyle amenities. It will particularly appeal to first-time buyers seeking affordable entry and future staircasing potential, provided they accept Shared Ownership terms and communal running costs.
