Summary - Kennet Street, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 RG1 4AQ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact modern flat with rooftop views, ideal for a central commuter base.
Fourth-floor one-bedroom apartment with lift access
This fourth-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a straightforward, central base for someone wanting town-centre living close to shops and transport. Positioned in a modern purpose-built block with lift access and external balconies, the flat benefits from rooftop and urban views and a practical layout with a separate dining area and fitted kitchen.
The accommodation is presented in neutral tones and includes a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, an open-plan lounge/dining flow, bathroom and hallway storage. It is chain-free, so completion can be straightforward for a buyer wanting a quick move or a landlord seeking an easy-let city-centre asset.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the lease has approximately 80 years remaining, which may limit mortgage options and could deter some lenders. The annual service charge is relatively high at £3,507, and the property sits in an area with higher crime and deprivation statistics — factors to consider for safety, insurance and rental demand.
Overall this is a compact, modern city apartment best suited to a first-time buyer comfortable with inner‑city living or an investor who accounts for lease and service-charge implications. A viewing will show whether the location and layout meet your needs and whether lease-extension or long-term ownership plans are required.
