Kiel's view-
A fantastic opportunity for first time buyers to get their hands on a fabulous two double bedroom second floor apartment in a prime spot in Reading. With plenty of space, storage and a sizeable entrance, it screams airiness. The current tenants have maintained the property to a high standard and would be ready for someone to move straight into. The best part, the living room, provides ample room for a dining area plus the added benefit of dual aspect, it floods so much natural light in. It has so many fabulous attributes, not to mention, allocated parking, plenty of visitor bays and access to many amenities right on your door step.
