This immaculate one-bedroom apartment on Kennet Island is ready to move into with no onward chain. The open-plan living area leads out to a south-facing patio, bringing natural light to the main living space and offering private outdoor space rarely found on apartments of this size.
The property includes an allocated off-street parking bay with remote gate access and access to well-kept communal areas. On-site facilities include a gym, café and convenience store, and the location offers fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy access to Reading centre and the M4—suitable for commuting professionals or first-time buyers seeking convenience.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with a very long lease (approx. 970 years) but with notable recurring costs: an average annual service charge of £2,119 and ground rent of £350. The property uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can affect running costs. The wider area records higher-than-average crime and local deprivation statistics; readers should consider these factors alongside the apartment’s conveniences.
Overall this is a tidy, well-presented city apartment offering straightforward ownership or rental potential. The combination of a long lease, private patio and allocated parking make it a practical choice, but prospective buyers should budget for service charges and higher utility costs due to electric heating.
