Set on the top floor above town-centre shops, this one-bedroom flat offers a compact, contemporary home ideal for a commuter or first-time buyer. The open-plan kitchen/living room is bright thanks to Velux skylights and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The bedroom includes L-shaped eaves storage and there is an additional low-headroom cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.
Practical points work in the buyer’s favour: the property is chain free, has a long 148-year lease, no service charge or ground rent, and low annual building insurance (£205). It is double glazed with electric radiators and benefits from excellent mobile signal — handy for remote working — though broadband speeds are average.
Buyers should note the flat is small (343 sq ft) and sits above retail units with communal access via an external walkway; some noise from the street-level commercial units may be noticeable. The EPC is F (34) and the apartment uses electric heating, so energy costs and potential upgrade work are relevant considerations. Local crime statistics are higher than average for the area, although the building has a security entry phone system.
This property suits someone seeking an affordable, low-upkeep entry into Beaconsfield with superb rail links to London Marylebone. It offers a straightforward, modern living space with scope to personalise; investors may also value the long lease and town-centre location, but should factor in energy performance and size when estimating rental income.
