Low-maintenance one-bedroom home with communal facilities close to Reading town links.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, no onward chain
A purpose-built ground-floor retirement apartment in a well-maintained McCarthy & Stone development, offered with no onward chain. The one-bedroom flat was built circa 2005 and benefits from lift access, on-site management, a communal residents' lounge, laundry room, guest suite and secure telecom entry — practical features for independent over-60s looking to downsize.
Accommodation is compact and low-maintenance: an open-plan living/dining room with patio doors to the communal gardens, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a separate compact kitchen and a shower room. The EPC rating of B and fast broadband availability are positives for comfort and connectivity, while the ground-floor position eases access.
Buyers should note the financial and local context: the lease has 104 years remaining, the annual service charge is approximately £3,826 and ground rent circa £395 per year. The local area is classified as very deprived with average crime levels; the location offers good bus links into Reading town centre and nearby amenities but is an urban, inner-city mix.
This apartment suits a single occupant or couple seeking a low-maintenance retirement base with communal support and easy access to town services. The compact footprint means some will appreciate the simplicity; others may find the kitchen and shower room small compared with modern family homes.
