Summary - Flat 23, Southcote Lodge, Burghfield Road RG30 3NE
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Peaceful ground‑floor living with communal gardens and easy transport links.
Over-55s complex with 24-hour careline and stairlift access
Quiet, low-maintenance one-bedroom apartment in a well-maintained over‑55s complex, set close to local shops and bus links. The flat faces communal gardens and includes a private entrance and stairlift access, with a 24‑hour careline for extra peace of mind.
The accommodation is compact (around 431 sq ft) with a living room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room. Double glazing and electric storage heaters are fitted; main fuel is electricity. Residents benefit from communal gardens and on-site communal lounge spaces.
Buyers should note this is leasehold with only about 79–80 years remaining. That level of lease remaining can make mortgage approval difficult or impossible with some lenders. Service charges average around £2,700 per year. The building was constructed in the 1980s and presents as well maintained, but the flat is small and suited to single occupancy or downsizers.
Suitable for someone seeking a manageable, retirement-focused home close to amenities, this apartment offers convenience and security but limited resale/mortgage options due to the short lease and ongoing service costs.
