This modern ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers an affordable route onto the property ladder through shared ownership. Built in 2019, the home has a fitted kitchen, bright reception room and two well-proportioned bedrooms arranged in a practical linear layout. Two allocated off-street parking spaces and on-site visitor bays add convenience for commuters and small families.
Positioned between Newbury’s two train stations and a 5–10 minute walk to town centre amenities, the location is a strong practical selling point for commuters. The property benefits from Nest-controlled central heating and a long lease of 119 years remaining, with the option to staircase to 100% ownership in future.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold shared ownership home: a 40% share is available from £104,000 (rent circa £437.55 pcm on the unsold share). Budget for service charges (approx. £1,074.48 annually) and annual rent reviews. The flat is small in overall size and sits in an area with higher recorded crime and medium flood risk — factors to consider for insurance and personal security.
Ideal for first-time buyers seeking lower upfront costs and strong transport links, the apartment provides modern, low-maintenance living with future staircasing potential. Those needing more space, full ownership now, or a quieter crime profile may wish to compare alternatives.
