This smartly presented one-bedroom retirement maisonette offers practical, low-maintenance living in Woolhampton’s peaceful Watermill Court. Sold with a renewed lease and no onward chain, it’s ready for immediate occupation or quiet downsizing without major works.
Accommodation is arranged over two levels with a self-contained ground-floor entrance and stairs to the first-floor living space. The layout includes a kitchen/breakfast room, living room, bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a smart shower room. UPVC double glazing, electric heating and off-street residents and visitor parking are useful, everyday conveniences for over-55s.
The development benefits from well-kept communal gardens and easy access to canal-side walks, local shops, two nearby pubs and a station with services to Reading, Newbury and London. These local amenities make the maisonette appealing for those seeking a social, village lifestyle with good transport links.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £2,947 and a small ground rent of £100. The maisonette is on the first floor, so stairs will be required to reach the accommodation. There is a recorded high flooding risk for the area — potential buyers should factor this into insurance and safety planning.
