A bright first-floor retirement apartment in The Maltings, offered chain-free and designed for over-55s seeking convenient town-centre living. The flat provides a generous living/dining room, a fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom, all within a comfortable 716 sq ft layout. There is a nearby car port for one vehicle and communal services include 24/7 external monitoring, grounds maintenance and cleaning of communal areas.
The location is a key asset: shops, a surgery, pharmacy and Thatcham railway station are all close by, with good road links to the M4 and M3 for travel further afield. The block is double-glazed and was constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s, offering straightforward, low-maintenance living for those who want convenience and community.
Important practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with approximately 59 years remaining. That limited lease length, combined with a £100 ground rent and the building’s communal service charges, may restrict mortgage options — some lenders can refuse mortgages unless the lease is extended. Heating is via electric storage radiators, which are typical for this type of building but can mean higher running costs than gas central heating.
This apartment will suit a buyer prioritising location, low-exterior maintenance and retirement-friendly services. Buyers and their advisers should check lease extension options and lender criteria early in the process so the financial position is clear before committing.
