This bright second-floor corner apartment offers practical, comfortable living for buyers looking to downsize without compromise. Dual-aspect living spaces and two double bedrooms create a light, spacious feel, while the fitted kitchen and well-presented interiors mean move-in readiness for most purchasers.
Part of an attractive retirement complex with extensive on-site amenities, the development includes a residents’ bistro, lounge, hair salon, activity and therapy rooms, guest suite, and mobility scooter charging. Security and peace of mind are provided by a concierge reception and a Tunstall emergency intercom system with pull-cord and wrist alarm.
Practical conveniences include two lifts to the second floor, off-street parking, well-maintained communal gardens with allotment and bowling green, and nearby Caversham centre just 0.5 miles away. The property is offered chain free and has 118 years remaining on the lease.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement development with a substantial annual service charge (approximately £9,300.60) that covers communal services and facilities. The ground rent is a nominal £1 per year. These running costs support the high level of communal care and amenities but are a material ongoing expense to factor into affordability.
