The list price of £165,000 for a one-bedroom retirement apartment in Caversham appears reasonable compared to other similar properties in the area. While the lack of square footage data for comparable properties makes a precise price per square foot comparison impossible, the price aligns with the lower end of the market for this area, which is characterized by a mix of property types and prices. The average price of other properties near by is higher. This is in part due to the size of the other properties. This property being of a small size, may indicate a lower price.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in good condition. The interior is well-maintained and the kitchen and bathroom look recently updated or refurbished. There are no obvious signs of significant wear and tear or needed repairs. While the property’s age might suggest some potential future maintenance needs, the current state is clearly presentable.

Caversham is a desirable area in Reading, known for its good schools and proximity to amenities. The presence of highly-rated primary schools within a short distance is a significant positive. The relatively close distance to Reading West train station also adds to the appeal. However, the specific location within Caversham (Mapledurham) may not offer the same level of convenience as more central locations. The lack of detailed information on local shops and other amenities necessitates a moderate score.

The property is described as a retirement apartment with minimal land. There is communal garden space shown in the photos, but it’s not private land attached directly to the property, hence the low score.
