Sixth-floor city-centre flat with communal gym and roof gardens close to The Oracle.
Riverside balcony with river views
Set on the sixth floor of the landmark Verto building, this two-bedroom riverside apartment offers bright, low-maintenance city living for buyers wanting central convenience. Full-height windows and a private balcony face the river, while an open-plan kitchen-living space with integrated appliances creates an easy, contemporary layout. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite; both bedrooms are well-proportioned for the building’s footprint.
Residents have access to practical communal facilities — a gym, residents’ lounge and landscaped roof gardens with city views — which extend living space beyond the flat. Practical extras include underfloor heating via the community scheme, ultrafast FTTP broadband, lift access and an EWS1 A2 external wall system certificate.
Be clear on the costs and local context: the lease has 243 years remaining, annual service charge circa £3,300 and ground rent £400 per year. There is no allocated parking with the flat; on-street parking only. The immediate area is a busy inner-city, multicultural neighbourhood with high recorded crime levels, so prospective buyers should factor location and security into their decision.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or young professional seeking a modern, low-upkeep base in Reading’s centre — close to The Oracle, Forbury Gardens and Reading Station — and worth viewing to assess feel, finish and the implications of communal costs and urban location.
