The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite and the living room opens onto a private balcony — useful urban outdoor space.

The property is offered chain free on a 97-year leasehold, with mains gas central heating and double glazing. Service charges average £2,600 pa and ground rent is £200 pa; factor these running costs into long-term budgeting. The block was constructed c.1996–2002 and appears in good condition, reducing immediate maintenance concerns.
Location is a key strength: central Reading provides quick access to shops, transport links and a range of independent and outstanding state schools nearby. Note the area records higher-than-average crime levels; prospective buyers should consider personal and home-security measures despite allocated secure parking.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a low-fuss, centrally positioned home or a city-centre rental investment. The layout is traditional and well maintained, but as a leasehold flat buyers should check the lease terms and service-charge history before committing.
