Set within a peaceful over-55s development in Caversham, this two-bedroom retirement house offers straightforward, low-maintenance living close to local shops and an outstanding primary school. The property has a generous combined sitting/dining room with patio doors leading to a private patio, plus a garage and parking — practical advantages for visitors and occasional drivers.
Internally the layout is traditional and well-presented: entrance hall with cloakroom, separate kitchen, downstairs living/dining space and two first-floor bedrooms served by a shower room. The home benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and communal gardens, making it comfortable for year-round occupation.
Buyers should note clear material considerations: the lease has 62 years remaining and is likely to prevent many mortgage lenders from offering standard loans. This lease position, together with a service charge of about £277.66 per month and ground rent of approximately £364.54 per year, will be key factors for pensioners relying on mortgage finance or strict budgets. The kitchen is dated and may suit cosmetic updating to modern standards.
Offered chain free, the cottage is well suited to purchasers able to buy outright or to those prepared to explore specialist lending or lease extension. For downsizers seeking a manageable home in a quiet, affluent neighbourhood with easy access to local amenities, this property presents immediate occupation and scope to personalise the finish.
