I bought this flat as a first-time buyer 4 years ago. Even though it is near the town centre, Prospect Street is very quiet. My children play in the communal gardens, and we made good use of the many parks in the neighbourhood. What we love most about living here are the amazing views: The sunrise over Reading town centre that you can see from the living room and the beautiful sunsets over the Thames Valley towards Mapledurham from the bedroom windows and, of course, the size of the rooms! We also enjoy the fact that the location is very practical. The nearest grocery shop is a 3-minute walk, and it`s very easy to get to bus stops and the train station.
Agents Thoughts:
As you arrive at Branksome Court, the first thing you`ll notice is the secure entry system just a simple fob to let you in, adding that extra layer of peace of mind. Plus, being on the second floor provides additional security. Once inside, the apartment feels incredibly spacious, with flexible options for layout. Whether you want to create a home office or accommodate two children sharing a room, there`s plenty of room to make it your own.
The lounge is another standout feature roomy and adaptable, with a layout that flows naturally through the apartment. The current owners have even set up a snug area, perfect for either a dining space or a cosy nook. At the moment, they`re using it as a small sleeping area, showing how easily the apartment can adapt to different needs.
The seller has extended the lease to 125 years with the sale, so you won`t have to worry about any looming lease extensions. Another bonus is the reasonable ?1,000 yearly service charge, which is much more affordable compared to many central town apartments.
