Allocated off-street parking and communal courtyard
Approx 376 sq ft — compact one-bedroom layout
Service charge £1,500 per annum
Chain free — ready to complete purchase
First-floor flat with high ceilings
Limited natural light; kitchen has dated fixtures
Local recorded crime level is high
This compact first-floor one-bedroom flat sits in a converted Victorian terrace within easy walking distance of Newbury town centre, shops and the canal path. High ceilings and a long lease (989 years) give a sense of space and long-term security unusual at this price point. Allocated off-street parking and a communal courtyard add practical benefits for city-centre living.
The open-plan kitchen/living area is functional for single occupants or couples but the total size is small (approximately 376 sq ft). The kitchen shows contemporary fittings but limited natural light and some dated fixtures; cosmetic updating would unlock better comfort and rental appeal. Service charge is £1,500pa and there is no ground rent.
Important practical points: the property is chain free and well placed for the A4/A34 and Newbury station, making it attractive to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-entry London commuter location. Be aware the local recorded crime level is high; this may affect insurance and tenant demand. The flat offers straightforward potential for modest cosmetic investment rather than a major renovation.
Overall this is a budget-friendly, low-maintenance ownership or investment option with long lease security, decent transport links and parking — best suited to a buyer comfortable with a compact layout and willing to address light cosmetic upgrades.
