Summary - THE OLD SILK MILL FLAT 27 SILK LANE TWYFORD READING RG10 9GA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Comfortable second‑floor retirement living with communal gardens and parking.
Two bedrooms; main bedroom includes separate WC
This second-floor, two-bedroom apartment in The Old Silk Mill is designed for residents aged 55 and over and offers low‑maintenance living with communal facilities. A dual‑aspect lounge fills the living space with natural light and the main bedroom includes a separate WC. Shared amenities include a communal lounge, landscaped riverside gardens, residents’ car park, guest suite and laundry room — useful for socialising and practical daily living.
The apartment is served by a lift and communal stairs, and the layout provides flexible living with the second bedroom currently used as a dining room. The kitchen has a range of floor and wall units and the modern bathroom features a walk‑in shower. The property is double glazed and has an EPC rating of C, though heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas.
Notable costs and risks are clear: the property is leasehold with approximately 119 years remaining, an annual service charge of £4,569 and ground rent of £400 per year. There is a high local flood risk which may affect insurance costs and future resilience measures. Broadband and mobile connections are reasonable, and local amenities and rail links to Reading and London make the location convenient.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking a sociable retirement setting with riverside communal grounds and practical on‑site facilities. It offers immediate occupation with potential to personalise internal finishes, but budget for higher service charges, electric heating running costs, and flood insurance when considering purchase.
