This well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits within a sympathetic conversion of a former chapel, built in 2002. The home offers a modern open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with underfloor heating and wooden floors, plus direct access onto well-maintained communal gardens — an easy, low-maintenance layout suited to those seeking comfortable village living.
Both bedrooms are doubles with built-in wardrobes; the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite while a separate family bathroom serves the second bedroom and guests. Allocated off-street parking for one car is included, and broadband and mobile signals are strong — practical for remote working or staying connected.
The property is leasehold (199-year lease from 2002, c.177 years remaining) with a service charge of £2,013 per year and a peppercorn ground rent. It is offered chain free and recently redecorated, making it move-in ready for downsizers, couples or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance asset in an affluent village with easy access to Reading and Wokingham.
Notable practical points: there is no private rear garden — outdoor space is communal — and the service charge is material for budgeting. Council Tax Band D and average local crime are also factors to weigh when comparing nearby options.
