Set on the second (top) floor of a modern development, this newly renovated two-bedroom flat offers low-maintenance living with practical comforts. The semi-open-plan kitchen/reception leads to a rear-facing balcony overlooking the communal garden — a quiet spot for morning coffee. Both bedrooms are good-sized doubles and the bathroom has been upgraded with marble-style panelling and an overhead shower.
Energy efficiency and comfort are strong selling points: double glazing, well-insulated walls and roof, and gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. The property includes one allocated off-street parking space and easy access to Newbury town centre by bus or bike, with countryside and AONB scenery nearby for weekend walks.
Tenure is leasehold and the flat is currently part-owned by a housing association but is being offered as a full open-market sale; on completion the full leasehold title will transfer to the buyer. The lease has around 110 years remaining. Service charges run at approximately £2,165.28 per year (about £180.44 pcm), and council tax is Band C. Pets are not permitted (except assistance animals).
Practical buyers should note the local area records above-average crime levels and the property sits within a communal retirement-style development, which may influence resale and occupant mix. Overall this is a straightforward, energy-efficient flat suited to someone seeking a low-upkeep home close to town, countryside amenities, and good local schools.
