Summary - 5 Grand View, 296 Farnborough Road, FARNBOROUGH GU14 7GZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ideal for commuters seeking a low-maintenance town-base with parking.
Allocated underground parking bay included
Built in 2019 and offered chain-free, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment provides a compact yet comfortable base in central Farnborough. The open-plan reception and kitchen stretches to 26ft and opens onto an enclosed winter garden balcony, giving extra usable space and natural light. The double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the bathroom is modern with a bath and shower over. The property totals approximately 460 sq ft and is presented in good decorative order.
Practical features include allocated underground parking, lifts to all floors, communal gardens and good digital connectivity — a short walk brings you to the town centre and Farnborough station, making it well suited to commuters. The lease has 118 years remaining (125 years from 2019) and running costs include a service charge of about £1,200 p.a. and ground rent of £228.50 p.a. Council Tax band C is £1,966.96 for 2025/26.
Be aware of a few material points: the property uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the EPC is rated D. Crime in the immediate area is reported as above average, and communal service charges apply. These factors are offset by the long lease, allocated parking and the convenience of a central town location, making the apartment suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance city-base.
