Description
A wonderful opportunity to acquire a bright and well-presented first-floor apartment within William House, an established development specifically designed to provide comfortable, secure and independent living for those aged 70 and over.
Offered with no onward chain, this delightful apartment combines a peaceful residential setting with a wealth of on-site facilities and the reassurance of support available when required.
A particularly attractive feature is the south-facing aspect, with the living room enjoying plenty of natural light and French doors opening onto a south-facing Juliet balcony. The property also benefits from a long lease of approximately 998 years, providing considerable peace of mind for the future.
TWO YEARS' SERVICE CHARGE PAID UPFRONT
A significant additional benefit is that two years' service charge will be paid upfront, providing an immediate financial advantage to the incoming purchaser.
The property itself is accessed via a welcoming entrance hall, which provides access to all principal rooms and includes a useful walk-in storage/airing cupboard.
The spacious living room is bright and comfortable, with French doors opening onto the south-facing Juliet balcony. The generous proportions provide plenty of space for both comfortable seating and dining, while fitted carpets, raised power sockets and TV and telephone points add to the practicality.
A partially glazed door leads through to the well-arranged kitchen, which is conveniently positioned alongside the main living accommodation.
The bedroom is a peaceful and well-proportioned room benefiting from the same attractive south-facing aspect. A particularly useful walk-in wardrobe provides excellent storage, helping to keep the main bedroom uncluttered.
Completing the accommodation is a fully tiled shower room, fitted with a modern suite comprising a walk-in shower, WC and vanity unit with mirror. Additional features include an emergency pull cord, grab rails and a heated towel rail.
Security, Support & Independent Living
William House has been designed with independent living in mind, whilst providing additional reassurance and support should residents need it.
There is a 24-hour emergency call system, including Tunstall emergency pull cords within the apartment, together with a security entry intercom system.
Staff are available on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with an Estate Manager responsible for the day-to-day running of the development. There is also the added benefit of weekly domestic support.
This combination allows residents to maintain their independence while having additional support and assistance readily available when required.
Excellent Communal Facilities
Residents of William House have access to a range of communal facilities designed to encourage both convenience and social interaction.
These include an on-site bistro, communal patio areas, beautifully maintained gardens, a guest suite for visiting friends and family, laundry facilities and visitor parking.
The surrounding communal gardens are particularly pleasant, with well-maintained lawns, established planting and seating areas providing attractive spaces in which to relax, enjoy the outdoors or socialise with other residents.
Convenient Thatcham Location
William House is ideally situated within easy reach of the heart of Thatcham, making it particularly well suited to those looking for independent living without being isolated from everyday amenities.
The development is just a short, level walk from the town centre, where residents can access a range of local shops, cafés and everyday services. Waitrose is also nearby, making regular grocery shopping particularly convenient.
For those wishing to travel further afield, Thatcham railway station provides services towards Reading and London Paddington, while the A4 and A34 offer convenient road connections to Newbury, Reading and surrounding areas.
A Wonderful Opportunity for Independent Living
With its south-facing aspect, Juliet balcony, generous living accommodation, excellent communal facilities, 24-hour emergency support and convenient town-centre location, this apartment provides an appealing combination of independence, comfort and reassurance.
The additional benefit of two years' service charge being paid upfront, together with the long lease and no onward chain, makes this an opportunity that deserves serious consideration.
