Inside, the home unfolds across approximately 1,500 sq. Ft. Of thoughtfully designed space. The top floor is dedicated to a stunning 23ft open-plan living area – a true heart of the home. This expansive sitting/dining room flows seamlessly into a modern fitted kitchen, perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings in. French doors open onto a generous sun terrace offering far-reaching views over the River Thames and The Meadows – an idyllic spot for morning coffee or evening sunsets.

Bedroom two also benefits from its own en-suite and built-in wardrobe, while the third double bedroom – with balcony access – includes a built-in wardrobe and is served by a well-appointed family bathroom. A separate utility room adds further convenience.
Every detail has been considered for modern living – from the video entry system to electric radiator heating and beautifully kept communal gardens. Residents enjoy direct access to riverside walks, and with Reading town centre and the station both within a 10-minute walk, this location perfectly balances peace with connectivity.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a stylish, low-maintenance home in one of Reading’s most desirable and well-connected locations.
Location: Reading is a thriving hub just over 20 minutes by train from London Paddington and now part of the Elizabeth Line, offering direct access to Central London and Heathrow. The town combines urban convenience with natural beauty – riverside walks, the nearby Berkshire Downs and Chilterns, and two canals provide an abundance of outdoor leisure.
For shopping, The Oracle and high street favourites are within easy reach, and an array of cafes, restaurants, and bars create a lively social scene.
Families will appreciate proximity to outstanding schools including Reading School, Kendrick Grammar, and a number of well-regarded independents. Reading University – one of the UK’s top-ranked institutions – adds to the town’s dynamic, international character.
