A ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment in the heart of Mortimer Common, offered with vacant possession and warden control. The flat sits within easy walking distance of local shops, medical services, cafés and the village station, making it well suited to those seeking low-maintenance, convenient living. The layout includes a living room with patio access to a small garden, two double bedrooms and a fitted shower room. Double glazing and electric storage heaters are installed.
Buyers should note the lease has 61 years remaining and the service charge is high for the size of the flat (approx. £283.89 monthly / £3,406.68 annually). This lease length may restrict mortgage options for some purchasers — lenders can be reluctant to lend on shorter leases. Heating runs on electric storage heaters and there is no communal gas, which could mean higher running costs for some buyers.
The apartment is chain-free and ideal for downsizers or those seeking a village-centre retirement base with good transport links to Reading, Newbury and Basingstoke. Parking is available off-street and the development is described as a self-sufficient retirement area in a prospering countryside setting. The property is compact (approx. 580 sq ft) and will suit buyers wanting manageable accommodation rather than generous living space.
