Summary - 73 ARBORFIELD CLOSE SLOUGH SL1 2JP
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Affordable central living with garage and long lease, ideal for first-time buyers.
Two well-proportioned bedrooms with two bathrooms
About 484 sq ft — compact upper-floor apartment
Garage plus residents' parking included
Long lease (circa 987 years) and low council tax
Located within one mile of town centre and transport links
Heating: oil and room heaters — likely inefficient and costly
Timber-frame building with partial insulation assumed
High local crime, area deprivation, and medium flood risk
This upper-floor two-bedroom flat offers compact, practical living close to Slough town centre and transport links, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking affordability and convenience. The open-plan living/kitchen feels contemporary and light, and a private garage plus residents' parking add real everyday value in an urban setting.
The property comes with an exceptionally long lease (about 987 years) and low council tax, helping keep ongoing costs down. Two bathrooms and decent storage make the layout flexible for a small household or sharers, while excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suit home working and streaming.
Buyers should note a number of material drawbacks. The building dates from the late 1960s–1970s with timber-frame construction and only partial insulation assumed; heating relies on oil and room heaters, which can be costly and less efficient. The area has higher crime rates and relative deprivation; there is a medium flood risk to be considered. The overall size is small at around 484 sq ft, so storage and living space are limited.
For someone prepared to upgrade heating, insulation and cosmetic finishes, this flat represents a lower-priced entry into Slough with clear rental or owner-occupier potential. If security, full modern heating, or larger living areas are priorities, factor those needs and likely costs into any decision.
