Caversham Park, the former home of the BBC Monitoring Service, features a superb collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, designed exclusively for over 55s.
In addition to apartments created within the impressive, 18th century, Grade II listed mansion, new homes and a care home will be built within the 93 acres of formal gardens and landscaped parkland.
Each new or converted Beechcroft home in Caversham will provide plenty of light-filled living space, designed according to Beechcroft’s principle of creating high-quality homes with an abundance of living space.
The fixtures and fittings are of the highest quality; kitchens include bespoke cabinets and a full range of top-brand appliances, bathrooms include vanity units and mirrors, wardrobes are fitted in the main bedrooms and flooring, including carpeting, is included. Where possible, each new home will feature outside space – in the form of a terrace, balcony, private garden or a combination of these, along with allocated parking. The landscaped gardens will be a delight with a variety of plants to provide texture, colour and year-round interest.
“My garden and all the communal garden spaces are tended and all external maintenance is taken care of. Our Estate Manager, Ian, is so kind and obliging and will do all sorts of things to help out. Bins and recycling are taken care of.”

Learn moreIn the Middle Ages, Caversham Park was known as Caversham Manor and was owned by William Marshal (1146-1219), Earl of Pembroke and Protector and Regent for the 9-year-old King Henry III. Marshal died at Caversham but is buried in Temple Church, London.
In the 16th century, the manor house was bought by Sir Francis Knollys, Queen Elizabeth I’s treasurer. He demolished the existing manor and built a great mansion in its place. During the Civil War, King Charles I was held captive here. After the Civil war the mansion fell into disrepair and was eventually demolished. Several houses have stood on the site, including the home of William Cadogan, 1st Earl of Cadogan. The present Caversham Park house was built in 1850 for the Crawshay family.
During the First World War, the house was used as a convalescent home for wounded soldiers and afterward was occupied by the BBC Monitoring Service until Beechcroft’s acquisition of the estate.
