Bright, compact and contemporary, this one-bedroom apartment on Kings Road offers an efficient city-base close to Reading town centre. The open-plan kitchen/reception and large living window create a light, modern living space ideal for a single professional or couple. Communal amenities — a rooftop terrace and gym — extend the apartment’s usable space and social appeal.
Practical positives include allocated off-street parking, lift access to the upper floor, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and a long lease of 243 years. Council tax is described as cheap and local crime levels are low, supporting day-to-day convenience and security.
Buyers should note the apartment is compact at approximately 391 sq ft; storage and living space are limited compared with larger homes. Heating is electric via room heaters, which can be more costly than gas central heating. The property is leasehold — while the lease is long, any leasehold ownership considerations and service charges should be checked.
Set in a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood, the flat suits first-time buyers, young professionals or investors seeking a centrally located, low-maintenance home with rental potential. Communal facilities and proximity to transport and amenities add practical value, but the small internal size and electric heating are important factors for viewing and budgeting.
