A chain-free, two-bedroom ground-floor flat with underground parking and direct access to communal grounds, set close to Newbury Park station. The apartment is compact at about 495 sq ft but laid out for practical living, with a fitted kitchen, a reception room and two bedrooms — one with built-in wardrobes. Long lease (about 103 years remaining) and an EPC rating of D give clarity on tenure and energy performance.
This property will suit first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance home with excellent transport links and local schools nearby. The building is modern and well-presented; communal grounds and allocated underground parking add convenience and security. Broadband speeds are reported slow, so buyers who work from home should check options locally.
Notable running costs include a service charge of approximately £2,000 per year and a ground rent of around £200 per year. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating — expect higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The wider area records higher-than-average crime levels, which some buyers will want to investigate further.
Overall this is a pragmatic, move-in-ready option for a first-time buyer or investor wanting a leasehold flat near transport and schools. The compact size and electric heating limit some appeal, but the convenient location, parking and chain-free status are genuine strengths worth viewing in person.
