Sellers view-
"This was the very first property we bought together, and from the moment we walked into the showroom, even while the building was still under construction, we knew it was special. We viewed other properties at the time, but none of them gave us the same feeling. This one felt like home straight away. It had that cosy, welcoming atmosphere and sense of comfort we had been looking for.
The flat itself offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, which has been ideal for both everyday living and hosting guests. The layout feels bright and well thought-out, and one of our absolute favourite features has always been the outdoor space. The balcony and, especially, the terrace, which catches sunlight all day, have been such a gift.

Before our daughter was born, we spent countless evenings on the terrace with friends, enjoying long, relaxed summer nights. After she arrived, we realised just how essential that space truly was. She spends so much time out there, running around, playing, riding her little bike, and it has felt like a safe extension of our living space meaning we didn't need to move until we wanted to.
The development itself is something we fell in love with from day one. It’s very well located, close to everything you need, yet tucked away from busy main roads, which gives it a peaceful and private feel. We’ve always loved the canal walks nearby; they’ve been perfect for quiet moments, fresh air, and decompressing after busy days.

What has made living here even more special is the lovely neighbourhood. We’ve been fortunate to be surrounded by friendly, welcoming neighbours, and we’ve made friendships here that we know will last a lifetime. There’s a real sense of community that makes this development feel safe, warm, and genuinely homely.
We have taken great care of this home over the years, maintaining it in immaculate condition. We’ve repainted, installed new features, and continually improved it to keep it feeling fresh and well looked after. It has truly been a place we’ve nurtured and cherished.

This flat holds so many meaningful memories for us, it represents the beginning of our journey as homeowners and as a family. We will always love and remember this place for the rest of our lives. However, as our family grows, the time has come for us to move on and find another place to call home."

Kiel's view-
Situated at Riverside View, RG1 6FH, directly alongside the beautiful River Kennet, this is a truly premium two double bedroom apartment, built by Weston Homes in 2020, offers something very few others here can - both a private balcony and a sizeable roof terrace. If you enjoy entertaining friends, summer evenings outdoors or simply want your own elevated retreat above the town, this is a rare find.

Internally, the home is immaculate and ready to move straight into. The living space flows beautifully, with a well-presented fitted kitchen complete with built-in appliances, opening into a bright and stylish reception area. Underfloor heating runs throughout, creating a clean, modern feel without radiators interrupting the space.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles. The principal bedroom benefits from a sleek en suite shower room, while a separate contemporary bathroom serves guests or family. Storage here is impressive - far more than you’d expect from apartment living.

And then there are the details that elevate this home further. Smart electric taps allow you to set water temperature and flow at the touch of a button - efficient, precise and undeniably premium.

For commuters, you’re positioned perfectly. Central Reading is just a short walk away, with excellent access to transport links and the M4. For investors, the property is expected to achieve circa £1,950pcm, delivering an estimated net yield of approximately 5.2%

Homes of this calibre, in this position, with this level of outdoor space, are rare.

The Location – Riverside Living with Everything on Your Doorstep

Riverside View sits alongside the River Kennet in one of Reading’s most desirable central pockets. From your front door, you can walk peacefully along the river straight into town in minutes (i've done the short walk myself).

You’re approximately a 10-minute walk (0.5 miles) to The Oracle Riverside, offering riverside dining, shopping and cinema facilities. Continue a little further and you reach Reading town centre and Reading railway station (circa 0.8 miles), providing fast services to London Paddington in around 25 minutes via the Elizabeth Line/Crossrail and mainline connections.

For drivers
Junction 11 of the M4 motorway is within easy reach, making this ideal for those commuting by car.

Amenities & Everyday Convenience
You have local supermarkets, cafes and gyms within walking distance, while riverside restaurants and bars create a lifestyle feel that’s hard to replicate elsewhere in RG1 and other parts of Reading town centre.

Schools
The property is well positioned for reputable local schools including:
• The Abbey School
• Kendrick School

Green Space & Family-Friendly Activities
Riverside walks are quite literally on your doorstep. You’re also close to:
• Forbury Gardens (circa 0.9 miles)
• Christchurch Meadows (circa 1 mile)

Both are ideal for weekend picnics, children’s play areas and open green space. Paddleboarding and riverside cycling routes are easily accessible for more active buyers.

This is central Reading living - but with breathing space.
