Set on the ground floor of the Kings Oak Court development, this practical two-bedroom apartment offers efficient, ready-to-live accommodation a short walk from Reading town centre and station. The dual-aspect living room opens to a small patio/balcony; the main bedroom benefits from an en-suite and built-in wardrobes. At about 729 sq ft the layout suits a couple, small family or buy-to-let investor seeking central, low-maintenance city living.
Practicalities are clear: the property has allocated off-street parking, a 99–100 year lease remaining, an average service charge of £2,800 pa and ground rent of £150 pa. Heating is by electric storage heaters and glazing was updated post-2002, which reduces immediate retrofit needs but may affect running costs versus gas-heated homes.
The location is the apartment’s strongest asset — direct access to shops, cafes, the Oracle and fast trains to London. Downsides to weigh: the building sits on a main road with urban/street-facing views, there is no private garden, and recorded local crime levels are high. These factors are offset for buyers prioritising central convenience and transport links but are important for family buyers to consider.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-proportioned city flat that works well for commuters, investors or first-time buyers who want a central base and are comfortable with electric heating, service charges and an urban setting.
