Ground-floor living with direct views over Newmarket’s famous gallops, this freshly renovated two-bedroom apartment offers bright, open-plan space and triple glazing throughout. The living room’s French doors frame the sweeping racecourse outlook and open onto well-kept communal lawns, while the refitted kitchen and bathroom use contemporary Swedish fittings and durable vinyl flooring for a low-maintenance finish.
Practical benefits include private off-street parking, a private entrance porch, integrated Bosch appliances, and ample built-in bedroom storage. The apartment is offered chain free and benefits from mains gas heating via a boiler and radiators, fast broadband availability and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working.
Important ownership details: the flat is leasehold with 88 years remaining, a ground rent of £250 per year and a service/management charge of around £311.25 per month (c. £3,735pa). Council tax band is low (Band B). The location is very affluent and attractive to buyers who value open countryside views and proximity to racing facilities.
Notable drawbacks are clear: the property sits in an area with higher local crime levels, and the relatively shortish lease and substantial monthly service charge will affect long-term costs and mortgage/valuation options. Buyers wanting minimal ongoing fees or very long lease terms should factor these points into their decision.
