Summary - Southcote Lane, Reading, Berkshire, RG30 RG30 3ES
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Contemporary two-bed flat with parking, communal gardens, and easy access to Reading transport hubs..
Two bedrooms, open-plan living — approx. 713 sq ft
Well-presented two-bedroom apartment set in a modern development close to Reading town centre and transport links. The light, open-plan living space and contemporary kitchen suit everyday family life or commuter routines — the building was constructed 2007–2011 so fittings and layout feel recent. Allocated parking and communal gardens add convenience and outdoor space without maintenance of a private garden.
Practical running costs are clear: Council Tax Band C, ground rent £200 p.a., and service charge £2,854 p.a. The property is leasehold with 111 years remaining on a 125-year lease started in 2011. Tenure and service charges are material considerations for buyers used to freehold ownership or low-cost flats.
This apartment is offered with no onward chain and is ready to move into. The size (713 sq ft) and single bathroom mean it best suits couples, small families, or commuters seeking a low-maintenance base near schools, parkland and frequent public transport. Viewing recommended to judge layout and proportion in person.
Notable constraints: one bathroom only, leasehold tenure, and a relatively high annual service charge for communal upkeep. Crime and deprivation indicators are average for the area — broadly typical for a city suburb rather than a secluded village environment.
