Chain-free top-floor one-bedroom flat ideal for first-time buyers or investors seeking low-maintenance Colnbrook base.
Top-floor one-bedroom flat, 593 sq ft
A chain-free, top-floor one-bedroom flat in Colnbrook presented as a practical, low-maintenance home or rental opportunity. The apartment offers a double bedroom, living/dining room, separate kitchen and bathroom within a modest 593 sq ft footprint. Windows provide natural light and the block sits within sizeable communal gardens, offering a pleasant outlook and outdoor space.
Practical benefits include a secure entry system, double glazing and an 86-year lease remaining. The property is offered with no onward chain, which can speed a purchase. Service charge and ground rent are reasonable for a managed block (service charge approx. £1,362pa; ground rent £10), and council tax is described as low.
Notable downsides are important to consider: the building is in an area classed as very deprived with high local crime levels, which will affect resale and lettings for some buyers. Heating runs on electric boiler and radiators, which can be more expensive than gas; the particulars also note that services and appliances have not been tested. As a top-floor flat in a three-storey block, access is likely by stairs only (no lift information provided).
This flat will suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking an affordable, chain-free entry into the Slough market who is comfortable living in — or letting within — a tougher local area. It’s presented in average condition and may benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise rental yield or future resale value.
