Summary - FLAT 801, VERTO, 120, KINGS ROAD RG1 3FS
3 bed 2 bath Penthouse
Spacious three-bedroom penthouse with two parking spaces and stunning skyline views.
South-facing 14th-floor penthouse with panoramic city views
This 14th-floor penthouse in the Verto development offers expansive, south-facing panoramic views across Reading from full-height dual-aspect windows and a large balcony. The apartment’s 1,663 sq ft layout includes three large double bedrooms, a 21 ft dual-aspect master with dressing area and four-piece en-suite, and an open-plan living/kitchen/dining space with Siemens appliances and a central island. Zoned air conditioning, updated underfloor heating and smart-home controls for extractors and towel rails add modern convenience.
Secure basement parking for two cars (private car lift) with an EV charger is a strong practical benefit for city living. Building amenities — residents’ lounge, gym, large outdoor terrace, concierge, CCTV and a 10-year warranty — support an upscale, low-maintenance lifestyle close to Reading town centre and the station.
Buyers should note several material costs and location factors. Annual service charge is £7,628.95 (above average) and ground rent is £740 pa (described as expensive). Council tax sits above average (Band E). The listing data contains a tenure inconsistency: ‘FREEHOLD’ is shown, yet lease details state an original 250-year term with 243 years remaining; this should be clarified before purchase. The area is described as an inner-city, multicultural student neighbourhood with higher local crime levels, which may affect lettings, family perception and insurance.
Overall, the apartment suits buyers wanting a high-spec, spacious penthouse with strong transport links and on-site facilities — attractive to owner-occupiers seeking modern city living or investors targeting premium, well-appointed flats — provided they accept the ongoing service and ground rent costs and the neighbourhood profile.
