0 bidsAn impressive top floor period apartment with views. Part of a highly sought-after development by Thomas Homes, converted from the former university buildings. Within walking distance of Reading town centre, Reading train station and the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
ACCOMMODATION
Ground floor: Main communal entrance hall with stairs rising to upper floors.
Second floor: Kitchen, living room, master bedroom, one further bedrooms, bathroom, access to loft space.
Outside: Allocated parking space.
PROPERTY INFORMATION
An impressive top-floor apartment in the heart of Reading, set within a beautiful Grade II* listed Georgian Bath stone building, combining historic architectural character with a stylish contemporary interior. The building was sympathetically converted by Thomas Homes in 2018, retaining the character and grandeur of the former University building while creating a high-quality modern home.
Bathed in natural light throughout the day, the apartment enjoys far-reaching views across Reading. The kitchen and living room capture beautiful evening light and spectacular sunsets, while the two south-facing bedrooms are filled with morning sunshine and enjoy attractive views across the University grounds, creating bright and welcoming spaces throughout the home.
The interior has been finished to a high standard, with high-end touches including integrated Bosch appliances, premium VADO bathroom fittings, quality fitted carpets and a touchscreen video intercom system for the communal entrance. A built-in HVAC air filtration system is designed to remove dust and airborne pollutants, helping to maintain cleaner, fresher air throughout the apartment. The sash windows also benefit from secondary glazing, helping to retain warmth while significantly reducing external noise.
As a top-floor apartment, the property benefits from its own self-contained loft storage, providing valuable additional space, as well as a designated off-road parking space nearby. Residents also have access to a secure, sheltered communal bicycle store and locked communal bin stores.
Well suited to modern home working, the property benefits from good mobile reception and access to Virgin Media full-fibre broadband within the building, providing excellent connectivity for remote and hybrid working.
The property is situated within the University of Reading’s postgraduate campus, with access to attractive communal gardens as well as the convenience of an on-site restaurant and bar.
Ideally positioned in the heart of Reading, the property is just an 8-minute walk from the town centre and approximately 15 minutes on foot from Reading Central Station, with direct trains to London Paddington taking around 20 minutes.
With its central location, excellent transport connections and proximity to the University and town centre, the property is well suited to both owner-occupiers and investors.
TENURE
Leasehold with vacant possession.
LEASE INFORMATION
Remainder of a 125 year and 9 months lease lease dated from 9 February 2018. For further information such as charges and maintenance then please refer to the auction legal pack.

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
