This well-presented first-floor apartment offers a straightforward, low-maintenance home close to Reading town centre and the M4. The open-plan living/kitchen flows onto a generous balcony, and the master bedroom includes an ensuite and built-in wardrobes—suitable for first-time buyers seeking ready-to-move-in accommodation or investors after an easy-let. Communal features include lift access, allocated parking and secure bicycle storage.
The apartment sits in a modern red-brick development on Kennet Island, around 1.5 miles from the M4 and under 2 miles from Reading centre. The layout is practical: two double bedrooms, a family bathroom plus an ensuite, a useful entrance hall storage cupboard and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. At about 625 sq ft this is an average-sized two-bedroom flat offering sensible space for couples or sharers.
Important tenure and running costs are straightforward: a long lease (980 years remaining) provides security, but note the annual service charge (£1,871) and a higher ground rent (£684). Council tax is Band C and broadband and mobile signal are strong. Prospective buyers should also consider local context: the listing area has higher crime and some area deprivation indicators.
Overall this apartment is a practical, modern option for someone wanting a move-in-ready home with good transport links, or an investor looking for steady rental appeal. Factor in the service charge, ground rent and local area profile when budgeting and viewing.
