Relax with maintenance-free living at Imperial Court

If the thought of getting the lawnmower out on a weekly basis or keeping up with the DIY leaves you cold, a move to a new apartment at Imperial Court could be just the ticket, freeing up more time to indulge in the things you really enjoy. For while this collection of apartments, exclusively for those over 55, is surrounded by beautiful gardens that are yours to enjoy you won’t have to lift a finger to keep them looking perfect.

And because these are brand new apartments, finished to Millgate Homes’ exceptional specification, you won’t have to worry about the ongoing renovations that can be such a bind - and an expense - in older properties. Bespoke, walnut effect kitchen cabinets are complemented by quartz worktops and upstands and feature a range of stainless steel Siemens appliances that include an electric oven, microwave oven, four zone ceramic glass hob, a fully integrated frost-free fridge/freezer, a dishwasher and a washer/dryer.

Bathrooms and en-suites feature crisp, white sanitary ware from Villeroy & Boch with fitted mirrors, vanity units and chrome towel ladder radiators providing elegant finishing touches. In the bedrooms, fitted wardrobes are standard. Add to this the fact that carpets are fitted throughout and walls are painted in a soft, neutral shade and all you need to do is move the furniture in and pick the perfect curtains and accessories to help make your new apartment a home.

And a maintenance-free lifestyle is not the only benefit of downsizing to Imperial Court. In addition to the added peace of mind that you are sharing this exclusive address with a set of like-minded neighbours, a concierge is on hand to greet visitors, take deliveries, book transport to and from the airport and keep a discreet eye on things while you are on holiday. For when friends and family come to stay a self-contained guest suite can be booked so that everyone can enjoy their privacy.

While you can enjoy the privacy of your own apartment, you are free to use the stylish club lounge with its wide screen TV and comfortable sofas to watch major sporting events, meet friends for a coffee or a game of bridge. And if you still want to enjoy some leisurely gardening, many of the apartments here have their own patio areas whilst one of the remaining penthouses enjoys a fabulous roof terrace - perfect for filling with pots of your favourite plants.

Lying just 400 yards from Wokingham’s historic town centre, Imperial Court could not be better placed – an excellent range of shops, bars and eateries are all within walking distance. While day-to-day amenities and Wokingham railway station are all within close proximity, for those with cars some apartments will benefit from secure, underground parking.

And thanks to Millgate Homes’ ‘Assisted Move’ package, even the move itself could be stress free. The scheme includes up to £7,500 toward agent’s fees relating to the sale of your existing property, £1,000 toward legal fees and £1,000 towards removal costs (subject to terms and conditions). Accompanied viewings of your existing home can even be arranged on your behalf and a handyman will be available for a day once you’ve moved into your new Millgate apartment to help with those fiddly jobs such as fitting curtain rails and fixing pictures.

Prices at Imperial Court start at £187,500. For more information, log on to Millgatehomes.co.uk.
