Superb Transport Links and Modern Living in Reading’s Newest Neighbourhood

Bringing affordability to a budding residential district along the waterfront, L&Q at Huntley Wharf is a collection of brand-new one & two bedroom apartments complete with impressive transport links and a stunning riverside setting.

Set in the vibrant heart of Reading, one and two bedroom apartments at L&Q at Huntley Wharf are currently available for viewings – with a number of one bedroom homes ready to move into straight away.

Located on the banks of the River Kennet, which runs to the town centre, the homes form part of a new urban quarter that is fast becoming a hot spot for Reading’s buyers. When complete, the on-site facilities will include a café, shop, nursery, gym, and restaurant, providing residents with everything they could need just beyond the front door. These amenities are located around the development, with the core focus being Riverside Square, a buzzing hub for the local community. For those travelling further afield, the on-site Co-Wheels pay-as-you-go hire scheme will enable residents to have easy access to a car, without needing to pay the running costs or worry about parking.

All homes at L&Q at Huntley Wharf are available through Shared Ownership, a part-buy-part-rent scheme that allows eligible purchasers to buy a share in a property, renting the share they do not own. Buyers only require a deposit for the share they are purchasing, which is usually between 25% – 75% initially. When they are able to, purchasers can purchase more shares, through a process called ‘staircasing’, until they eventually own 100% of the property.

 

The ideal first home, all homes at L&Q at Huntley Wharf have been finished with stylish flooring fitted throughout the living areas, hallways and kitchens, and neutral tiles lining the bathroom walls. The white satin woodwork and a sophisticated kitchen, complete with fully integrated energy efficient appliances, including an oven and a dishwasher, gives the homes a contemporary feel. This emphasis on modernity continues throughout the apartments, with a video door entry system, pendant lighting, and a heated towel rail all included.

A must have for the summer months, most homes come complete with private outdoor space, which buyers can decorate to their own personal style, as well as landscaped podium gardens, which all residents enjoy access to.

With riverside walkways on the doorstep, and cycle routes along the Kennet and the Thames, residents at L&Q at Huntley Wharf have plenty of opportunities to explore their local area. The historic ruins of Reading Abbey are a short walk away, enabling residents to be immersed in history on their daily exercise.

 

For buyers keen to explore the culinary offerings in their local area, there is a plethora of independent restaurants to try, while those looking for retail therapy will have four local shopping centres to visit, home to well-known brands and independent boutiques.

A transport hub, L&Q at Huntley Wharf is ideally located a short walk from Reading train station, which offers regular, direct routes into London Paddington in 25 minutes, via National Rail and the Elizabeth Line. With a bike-ride into the town centre taking under five minutes, and a short drive down the M4 to Heathrow Airport, residents have a range of connections on their doorstep, whether they want to explore the local area or head to the airport for a weekend away.
