This modern one-bedroom apartment sits on an upper floor of a contemporary Slough development, a short walk from the town centre and Elizabeth line station. The open-plan living area with fitted kitchen and Juliet balcony maximises light across an efficient 453 sq ft layout—suited to a single occupant or couple commuting into London.
Practical features include lift access, secure underground parking, a residents’ gym and a long lease (136 years). The property is offered chain-free, which can speed completion for a buyer prepared to proceed via auction.
Important sale and cost considerations: the lot is sold by modern auction with an undisclosed reserve and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, min £6,600). There are notable ongoing costs—service charge c. £2,930 pa and ground rent c. £378 pa—and heating is electric wall-mounted units, which can raise running costs.
Location and condition notes: the block is contemporary and well-presented, but the surrounding area scores high for crime and is classed as deprived, which may affect long-term resale. For buyers who prioritise commuting convenience and a ready-to-move, low-maintenance apartment, this is a practical, compact option; buyers seeking low bills or a quieter neighbourhood should weigh the location and heating setup carefully.
