Set within the new Carter’s Court development, Plot 14 (The Ouse) is a 1-bedroom new-build apartment offering 560 sq ft of contemporary living. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area opens onto a private balcony via bi-fold doors, creating a bright, flexible space for everyday living and entertaining. The bedroom is a double with built-in storage nearby, and the bathroom is fitted with quality Roca sanitaryware and Bristan chrome brassware. Finished kitchens include integrated appliances for a move-in-ready home.
Practical protections include a 999-year lease, a 10-year NHBC Buildmark policy and a typical annual service charge of £1,072.50. The property is sold chain-free and marketed with options such as low-cost mortgage schemes for eligible buyers, making it especially accessible to first-time buyers looking to step onto the Reading market.
Buyers should note material local considerations: the immediate area is described as inner-city and classified as deprived, with a reported very high crime level — factors that will matter for resale and day-to-day living. Annual council tax band is to be confirmed and there is a peppercorn ground rent plus an estate management charge of £165.00.
Overall this apartment suits someone seeking a modern, low-maintenance home or a buy-to-let in a well-specified new development, provided they’re comfortable with the urban location and local area challenges.
