Elevated ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with small balcony
A modern, chain-free one-bedroom apartment in Kingsquarter, offered with an extended 990-year lease on completion. The flat sits on the elevated ground floor and benefits from a small balcony, separate kitchen and allocated underground parking — ideal if you need straightforward, low-maintenance city living with easy transport links to London and surrounding towns.
The layout is compact and efficient: entrance hall with storage, a large double bedroom with balcony access, a well-lit reception room and a separate kitchen. Interiors are neutral and liveable so the apartment is ready to occupy with minimal immediate work; cosmetic updates to the bathroom or kitchen could add value for resale or rental. The block was built c.2007–2011 and has double glazing throughout.
Practical costs and local context are important here. This is a leasehold property with a service charge averaging £1,938.12 per year (approx. £161.51 pcm). Heating is electric (room heaters) rather than gas, which can affect running costs. The surrounding locality is an inner-city, diverse area with good amenities and fast broadband, but also records higher crime levels and some local deprivation — factors to weigh for long-term living or lettability.
For a first-time buyer or investor seeking a modest, well-located one-bed with secure parking, a long lease and immediate availability, this flat offers a low-entry route into Maidenhead. Viewings will suit those prioritising location, transport links and a ready-to-live-in home rather than generous internal space or premium finishes.
