This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Maple Crescent is a practical project for buyers seeking value close to Newbury town centre. Offered chain-free, the house has a conventional layout with living and dining rooms, a kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom across two storeys. The property benefits from a westerly-facing garden and driveway parking for off-street convenience.
The accommodation requires renovation throughout: cosmetic and likely mechanical work is needed (room heaters/electric heating remain in place), and some rooms show wear and damp in places. Double glazing has been fitted since 2002, and the brick cavity walls provide a sound starting point for improvement. At about 916 sq ft, the size suits a small family or a buy-to-let investor aiming to add value.
Location is a clear asset. The house sits roughly 0.8 miles from Newbury town centre and about 0.9 miles from Newbury station, with primary and secondary schools within walking distance. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and there is no flood risk. Note the local crime level is above average and the area is described as ageing industrious workers, which may influence buyer considerations.
This property is best for buyers prepared to carry out updating and modernisation to unlock its potential. It offers straightforward renovation potential, immediate occupancy once works are complete, and sensible running costs with affordable council tax, but buyers should budget for heating upgrades and remedial works where damp and general wear are present.
