A ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment set within a small, well-kept development close to local shops and regular bus routes. The living room overlooks tended communal gardens and the scheme offers a communal outbuilding and on-site Court Manager service for extra support and social opportunities.
The accommodation is practical: 16' living room, fitted kitchen, 11' bedroom with wardrobes and a three-piece bathroom with shower over bath. The flat benefits from double glazing and electric storage heating; the lease has 99 years remaining and the property is offered as leasehold with an annual service charge of £2,005.55 (includes buildings insurance, water rates and communal management).
Suiting someone seeking low-stairs living in a community setting, this apartment is comfortable but dated in places and would repay some modernisation to kitchen, bathroom and decor. Buyers should note the electric heating system, the pre-2002 double glazing, and the annual service charge and initial administration fee on lease assignment.
Located about two miles from Reading town centre with nearby green space and local amenities, the flat is a practical, low-maintenance option for an over-55 buyer wanting easy access to services rather than a large private garden. Council Tax is band C and there is no reported flood risk.
