Kennet Court is a well-maintained, purpose-built, sheltered housing complex in Wokingham (Woosehill) providing independent living for the over 55's in 44 flats and bungalows. Kennet Court offers significant benefits over other retirement properties in the Wokingham area - such as the onsite dining room and 24-hour support provided by permanent staff members. It is not a care home but care can be arranged privately and this enables residents to stay in their own homes before considering nursing homes - this might help with planning for the future as well as being a great comfort to their families. Some residents are local and have downsized but can still continue their existing local activities. Others have moved into Kennet Court to be nearer to family or friends in the area.

Located in the market town of Wokingham, Berkshire, the Court is surrounded by great amenities such as the Acorn Centre café, supermarket, GP surgery and access to public transport into Wokingham town centre. With weekly activities, monthly outings and regular entertainment bookings, community spirit truly lies at the heart of Kennet Court. The Court, with 24 hour on-site staff, has many facilities including owners' lounge, on-site dining, guest suite, landscaped gardens and owners' parking.

It is important to note that a significant proportion of the Service Charge relates to items which the prospective purchaser is responsible for in their present home, such as building insurance, building maintenance, gardening, and domestic help. Many purchasers are also eligible for Attendance Allowance at £68 or £101 a week, which is neither means-tested or taxable and advice on this subject is available to anyone making an enquiry.

The lease provides that a transfer premium is payable to Retirement Security on resale of a property. The maximum premium payable is 3% of the sale price depending on the length of time an Owner has lived at the property. Further information is available from the Court Manager.
