First-floor one-bedroom in over-55s development, no onward chain
A well-presented one-bedroom apartment in an over-55s development, offered with no onward chain. Located on the first floor, the home benefits from dual-aspect living space, a contemporary fitted kitchen and a comfortable double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The development sits within attractive communal gardens and provides residents’ parking and communal living areas.
This apartment suits someone seeking low-maintenance, social retirement living close to local amenities. It sits about 0.3 miles from village shops and regular bus routes into Reading, making day-to-day errands and social trips straightforward. The building’s Georgian-inspired exterior and tidy communal grounds give it a pleasant, established feel.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas heating. The property is leasehold with 118 years remaining and an annual service charge of £3,391.40; ground rent details were provided with the service charge and should be reviewed. Council Tax is Band D (approx. £2,367.47). Double glazing is fitted, but install date is unknown.
Overall this flat offers comfortable, low-upkeep retirement accommodation in a peaceful, well-served neighbourhood. It will appeal to buyers prioritising community facilities, garden space and proximity to local shops, while those sensitive to service charges or electric heating costs should factor these into their decision.
