Stylish Top‑Floor 2‑Bed, 2‑Bath Apartment With Loft, Parking & Gardens In Gated Development Nr Town
From the Seller
i’ve owned this apartment since it was built and still love the convenience of having the heart of town – with its shops, cafés, restaurants and station – just a short stroll from home. The development itself blends the handsome façade of the former Upcross Hotel with modern design, giving it real character.
The communal gardens are a rare treat; there’s space to sit and read, entertain friends or just enjoy the sunshine. Being on the top floor gives you sweeping views over Reading, and the open-plan living room is perfect for gatherings. I also appreciate the little touches – a loft for storage, natural light in both bathrooms thanks to light tubes, and under-croft parking. With only 39 homes here, the community feels intimate and well-cared for.
From the Agent
What strikes me about this flat is how calm it feels as soon as you turn into Upcross Gardens, a gated community. The original character building sets the tone, and the grounds are meticulously maintained. Inside, the apartment has a modern flow with quality finishes – marble worktops, sockets, switches and gas central heating. Both bedrooms are good doubles, there’s an en-suite plus a separate bathroom, and built-in storage in the hall keeps clutter at bay.
Tucked off Berkeley Avenue, you’re within walking distance of the Oracle and the riverside, with Prospect Park and its open spaces in the opposite direction. If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-designed home with town-centre convenience, this one is worth seeing.
