Property Oracle says ..
This property is a one-bedroom retirement apartment situated within Emmbrook Court, Reading. The apartment boasts a modern interior with a recently updated kitchen and bathroom, evident from the provided photographs. The apartment is well-maintained, showing good condition throughout. While the exact square footage is specified, the lack of plot size suggests it is an apartment within a larger building with shared outdoor space.
The location offers access to various amenities, including proximity to schools (Leighton Park School is only 0.24km away) and several train stations (Earley, Reading, Reading West, Winnersh Triangle, and Winnersh). This makes it relatively convenient for commuting and access to educational resources. The proximity to Reading town centre provides further access to shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
The price of £175,000 is within a reasonable range when compared to other similar properties within Emmbrook Court, although a definitive conclusion cannot be provided due to the lack of square footage information on comparable listings. The property appears suitable for those over 55s seeking independent living in a convenient location with modern facilities. The absence of a private garden should be a key consideration for potential buyers. The communal grounds offer some outdoor space, but this may not suit everyone’s preference. Overall, this apartment provides a reasonably priced and convenient option for retirement living within a well-maintained environment. However, potential buyers must consider the lack of private outdoor space.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
