Large ground-floor two-bedroom flat with communal gardens and parking.
Chain-free ground-floor retirement flat with triple-aspect living room
A spacious two-double-bedroom ground-floor retirement apartment in central Thatcham, offered chain-free and arranged for comfortable, low-maintenance living. The large triple-aspect living/dining room floods with daylight and the well-equipped kitchen provides practical workspace for daily needs. Both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and the modern shower room is suitably functional for later-life living.
Set within a purpose-built block from the 1980s, the property benefits from well-maintained communal gardens, plentiful resident and visitor parking, and an on-site house manager available during office hours. Each main room and the bathroom include 24-hour call cords for added peace of mind. The flat comes with carpets, curtains and major appliances included for a straightforward move-in.
Notable running costs and specifics are clear: service charge circa £3,222.98 (2025/6), ground rent £100 pa and 99 years remaining on the lease (lease extension in progress). Heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity — buyers should expect higher electricity costs than gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent. The area is generally affluent but recorded higher local crime levels, which should be considered by prospective purchasers.
This property suits someone seeking a roomy, accessible retirement home close to town amenities (Waitrose, Co-op and local services) with communal support and outside space. It offers comfortable, ready-to-live-in accommodation with clear service costs and some ongoing considerations around heating and local safety that buyers should inspect and budget for.
