About this home

Situated directly beside the River Thames, this spacious ground-floor apartment combines a private garden and allocated parking with an exceptionally convenient central Reading location. Reading Station, the town centre, Christchurch Meadows and the Thames Lido are all within easy walking distance, while the riverside path is immediately accessible from the development. The apartment is approached through the secure gated surroundings of Kingfisher Place and entered through a private front door. A central hallway provides access to each room and incorporates useful built-in storage. Positioned at the front, the generously sized double bedroom includes fitted mirrored wardrobes and additional fitted furniture. The shower room is finished with white tiling and comprises a glazed shower enclosure, wash basin and WC. At the rear is an impressive open-plan kitchen and living space measuring approximately 16'5" square. The kitchen is arranged with a range of white wall and base units, work surfaces, tiled splashbacks and space for appliances, while the living area comfortably accommodates both sitting and dining furniture. Glazed doors draw plenty of natural light into the room and open directly onto the private garden. With a paved terrace, lawned area and outlook towards the River Thames beyond, this is a particularly rare and appealing feature for a one-bedroom apartment so close to Reading town centre. The property also benefits from an allocated parking space, an approximately 960-year lease and no onward chain. Combining riverside surroundings with a walk of approximately five minutes to Reading Station, it offers an excellent home for commuters, first-time buyers or those seeking a well-connected Reading base.
