A bright, well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment on the top floor, ideal for over-55s seeking a low-maintenance home close to Newbury town centre. The living/dining room opens onto a north-facing balcony with pleasant residential views, while the fitted kitchen, shower room with new flooring, and a good-sized bedroom with built-in wardrobes deliver comfortable, ready-to-use accommodation.
The building offers practical communal amenities: lift access, a house manager, residents’ lounge, 24-hour care alarms and unallocated off-street parking. The flat is a short walk from the town centre, rail station and shops, making everyday errands and travel straightforward. The property is being sold with no onward chain and is described as immaculately maintained.
Important practical considerations: the lease has 58 years remaining, which may prevent most mortgage lenders from offering loans and could affect future resale value. Annual outgoings include a service charge of £3,718 and a ground rent of £100. The wider area records higher crime levels, which prospective buyers should factor into their decision.
This apartment suits buyers aged 55+ looking to downsize to a well-kept, accessible home near local amenities and transport. It offers immediate occupation with modest upkeep, but buyers who require mortgage finance should check lender acceptance for the remaining lease term before viewing.
