This bright first-floor apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living in the heart of Newbury. The open-plan kitchen/living/dining room is well-proportioned and opens onto a balcony-style area, delivering plentiful daylight and a straightforward layout for everyday life or entertaining. The master bedroom includes an en-suite shower and there is a second double bedroom plus a main bathroom.
Practical strengths include two allocated off-street parking spaces, under-floor heating throughout, a secure entry system and a lengthy lease (118 years remaining). Service charge runs at approximately £2,060 per year and there is no ground rent — useful for budgeting. The flat is an easy walk to the town centre and Newbury rail station, which will suit commuters.
Notable drawbacks are the property’s modest overall size (around 655 sq ft) and very slow broadband speeds, which may affect home working or heavy streaming. The service charge should be factored into running costs. The apartment is presented as average-condition accommodation — suitable to move into or to update to taste but not offered as a turnkey luxury finish.
This home will suit first-time buyers or buyers seeking a commuter base with low external maintenance. Investors may also consider the long lease and central location, though broadband limitations could constrain letting to certain tenants.
