Summary - 29, Birch Place, Dukes Ride, CROWTHORNE RG45 6GT
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance living with extensive on-site care and social facilities.
Approx. 570 sq ft one-bedroom apartment with walk-in wardrobe
This well-presented one-bedroom apartment occupies an average-sized footprint (approx. 570 sq ft) within an award-winning Retirement Living Plus development in Crowthorne. Designed for over-70s independent living, the home benefits from a southerly-aspect living room that opens to a covered balcony overlooking landscaped gardens — a quiet spot for morning light and fresh air. Full fibre broadband and mobility-scooter charging points add practical convenience.
The development offers substantial on-site amenities: 24-hour estate management and staffing, an emergency call system, a bistro restaurant, communal lounge and wellbeing suite, laundry, hairdresser, and a guest suite (bookable, fees apply). One hour of weekly domestic support is included in the service charge, with additional care available at extra cost.
There are important running costs and practical points to note. The service charge is high at £10,868.07 per year (financial year ending 31/03/2026) though it covers many communal services; ground rent is £435 pa. Heating is by electric room heaters and some rooms have underfloor heating in tiled areas, which may influence energy bills. Parking is allocated subject to availability and charged separately.
Overall this apartment suits someone seeking low‑maintenance, sociable retirement living in an affluent Berkshire location, who accepts the higher service charge in return for extensive on-site support and communal facilities.
