A truly wonderful two bedroom ground floor conversion apartment, built by award winning builders Millgate Homes in 2008, once the site of the former Upcross Hotel. The property is set in a secure gated development, standing in immaculately presented communal grounds and situated less than a mile from Reading town centre, serving easy access to the main line train station, with access to London Paddington in just over 20 minutes and on London’s tube network with Crossrail and the Elizabeth Line.
On entering into the communal hallway there is lots of natural light via the high ceilings and wonderful stained glass windows. A real highlight of this superb apartment is the main living room, which is open plan to the kitchen/dining area and has a lovely box bay window. Both the double bedrooms have built in wardrobes and the master bedroom has the option of being an en suite or a family bathroom and has a separate shower cubicle as well as a bath. The property further benefits from an allocated car parking space and visitors parking.
All in all a truly wonderful conversion apartment which would make an ideal first time or investment purchase or for someone looking at downsizing.

Beyond the hive of commercial activity, Reading is nestled in the heart of Royal Berkshire offering beautiful riverside walks on the Thames and tow path ambles on the Kennet and Avon canals and with the nearby Berkshire Downs and Chilterns, beautiful countryside is never far away. Reading offers a rich mix of shops and markets.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 18, 2021

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 7, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on April 22, 2014 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
