This top-floor two-bedroom apartment occupies a quiet riverside spot overlooking Christchurch Meadows, offering low-maintenance town living with direct pedestrian access to Reading station via the Christchurch Bridge. The recent programme of updates — new kitchen units in 2025, bathroom replaced in 2023 and a gas boiler renewed in 2022 — means the flat is largely move-in ready and requires minimal immediate expenditure.
At c. 574 sq ft the accommodation is compact but well laid out: a generous main reception opens onto a small balcony with open meadow views, accompanied by two double bedrooms and a separate kitchen. An allocated off-street parking space and plentiful visitor bays add practical convenience, rare for this location.
This is a practical, affordable leasehold proposition for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors. The lease has around 97 years remaining, there is no ground rent, and the service charge is described as affordable (average c. £1,466 per year). Buyers should note the apartment’s modest footprint and typical third-floor access — no lift is specified — which may affect accessibility and furniture moves.
Location is a primary selling point: short walking distance to Caversham’s shops, cafés and Waitrose, with fast rail links into Reading and London. Flood risk is low and the area is generally affluent with good local schools, making this a sensible entry-level riverside home or rental with strong commuter appeal.
