Summary - 1 Hartslock Court, Shooters Hill, Pangbourne RG8 7BJ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free riverside apartment with garage and long lease in central Pangbourne.
Far-reaching River Thames views from living room and communal patio
An elevated first-floor apartment with far-reaching views over the River Thames, this two-bedroom home (convertible to three) sits in the heart of Pangbourne within easy walking distance of shops, station and riverside walks. The living room and adjacent dining area capture the outlook and lead to a communal patio that offers a peaceful spot to enjoy the scenery. A large lockable storeroom, garage and designated parking add practical value.
Built in the early 1970s, the flat is a mid-century modern property with generous room proportions but some dated finishes. The living room and principal rooms are bright with large windows, yet carpets and fittings show wear and the apartment would benefit from cosmetic updating or more substantial renovation to modern standards. Heating is electric underfloor, and double glazing is present (install date unknown).
Important ownership details: this is a probate sale and is being offered chain free. The lease is extremely long (circa 967–999 years remaining), but annual costs are significant — a service charge around £1,600 pa and a high ground rent quoted at £1,900 pa. Broadband speeds are reported slow. Prospective buyers should note council tax is in a higher band and probate must be completed before exchange.
For downsizers or buyers seeking a riverside pied-à-terre or rental investment, the apartment’s location, outlook and included garage make it attractive. However, factor in the service charges, expensive ground rent and likely refurbishment costs when assessing value and yield.
