Located an easy walk from Slough town centre and the Elizabeth Line, this upper-floor two-bedroom apartment offers practical space and long-term security. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a bright living room and a large kitchen, with loft storage and two allocated off-street parking spaces—rare extras for a flat of this size. The long lease (178 years remaining), modest service charge and peppercorn ground rent make it straightforward for buyers and landlords alike.
Internally the home is move-in ready and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. At about 638 sq ft, it suits professionals, sharers or small families needing flexible space and easy commuting options. Nearby schools include several highly rated state and independent options, adding appeal for buyers with children.
Buyers should note the location scores highly for transport and local amenities but is in a deprived area with very high recorded crime levels; that may affect resale or rental perceptions. The building was constructed in the late 1960s–1970s and has cavity walls likely without added insulation, and the double glazing predates 2002—both worth considering for energy upgrade plans. Service charge is £817pa (below average) and council tax is low.
Overall this property combines sensible running costs, strong transport links and useful extras (parking, loft, long lease). It offers immediate occupation for those seeking convenience, with straightforward opportunities to improve energy efficiency or personalise finishes to increase comfort and value.
