Description

<u>The Sellers View</u>I have loved living at Skelton Court - its a really friendly block and people are happy to take deliveries or lend a step ladder or screwdriver! We've even been known to have BBQs in the garden in the Summer. The flat itself is a great space. It is south facing so there is lots of beautiful light when the sun is shining and its toasty warm in the winter. It so well insulated that I often don't need to put the hearing on which saves on the bills! One of may favourite things about the flat is being able to come home from a long day at work and treat myself to a relaxing bath. The flat is in a brilliant location so I've been able to walk into the centre of town to enjoy the shops, restaurants and bars in one direction or drive 10 minutes in the other direction and be in the middle of the countryside in Sulham woods, which is one of my favourite places to walk. The transport links are great with buses and Reading West train station - I have always been able to get a seat on the train to London when I get on at Reading West even on the commuting train in the morning, which is certainly not the case from Reading central! The Oxford Road area is very vibrant and one of my favourite coffee shops is at the bottom of Connaught Road. It's great to spend my Sunday morning enjoying a flat white and a croissant. <u>The Agents View</u>This apartment is a fantastic opportunity for a first-time buyer. While you may wish to personalise the décor to suit your taste, the current owner has maintained it so well that you can move straight in. The property exudes a welcoming and homely feel. The open-plan reception room and kitchen offer excellent flexibility, providing ample space to accommodate both living and dining areas. Alternatively, if you prefer dining at the breakfast bar, you could use the dining space as a study area, as the current owner has done—an ideal setup if you work from home. The double doors fill the room with natural light and open onto a south-facing balcony, large enough to fit a chair or two, perfect for enjoying a drink in the sun. Adjacent to the kitchen is a deep double cupboard, offering a practical storage solution. The spacious bedroom features a built-in double wardrobe with plenty of room for additional furniture, so there's no need to compromise on space or position the bed awkwardly. The bathroom is generously sized and features a sleek, modern suite. Upon entering the home, you'll also find a large hallway storage cupboard, ensuring there's a place for everything. Residents enjoy access to a well-maintained communal garden, providing a private and peaceful outdoor space shielded from neighbouring properties. Additionally, there are rotary dryers available for line-drying laundry during the warmer months. The development includes secure bike storage, a lift, and a secure entry system. While the property does not come with allocated parking, residents can easily obtain on-road parking permits from the local authority. <u>The Area View</u>Skelton Court boasts excellent access to a wide range of local amenities, making it an ideal location for convenient and enjoyable living. For your weekly shop, you'll find several supermarkets within a 10-minute drive, including Tesco, Morrisons, Aldi, and Waitrose, offering plenty of choice. Reading town centre is also within easy reach, with The Oracle shopping centre just a 26-minute walk away.
