A well-presented, ground-floor retirement apartment in a peaceful courtyard setting adjoining Emmer Green Park. The property offers two double bedrooms, a bright dual-aspect living/dining room and a private patio — ideal for easy, low-maintenance outdoor living. Convenience is strong: Emmer Green shops are a five-minute walk, local buses serve Caversham and Reading, and a garage in the block provides secure parking.
Designed with retirement living in mind, the apartment sits within a small block of four units with communal facilities including a residents’ room and a laundry. The layout is traditional and spacious (approximately 1,031 sq ft), with built-in wardrobes in both bedrooms, a fitted kitchen with built-in NEFF appliances, and a double-width shower room. The development is chain-free and benefits from very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds.
Practical points to note: this is a leasehold property with 108 years remaining and a maintenance charge of £1,680 per quarter; council tax is Band F and described as expensive. There is no ground rent. The communal maintenance keeps the grounds tidy and the garages and visitor parking are managed as part of the service charge.
This apartment will suit someone looking to downsize without losing space or light, who values proximity to green space and local amenities, and who prefers a maintenance-supported community. Buyers should budget for the ongoing service charge and higher council tax when assessing overall costs.
