Summary - BLATCHLY HOUSE 1 ROEBUCK ESTATE BINFIELD BRACKNELL RG42 4DD
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable two-bedroom home with parking and excellent commuter links.
50% shared ownership available; £125,000 purchase share
This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment on Roebuck Estate is aimed squarely at first-time buyers seeking an affordable route onto the market. The property is offered as a 50% shared ownership at a £125,000 share, giving access to a well-presented home with allocated parking and easy commuter links to the M3/M4. The long lease (965 years) and no ground rent reduce long-term ownership worries.
Internally the apartment offers practical space: two double bedrooms, a living room over 14ft, a modern kitchen and bathroom, plus generous hallway storage. The building was constructed in the 1980s, benefits from later double glazing, mains gas central heating and a tidy communal entrance. Local amenities include good primary and secondary schools, nearby shops and green walking areas.
Monthly costs include a housing association rent of £598 and a service charge of £146 (c.£1,752pa). Council tax band is not specified. While the property is well presented overall, some decor appears dated in places and there is scope to personalise or modernise to taste. Investors should note the shared ownership model and rental charge when calculating returns.
In short, this apartment delivers an accessible, low-risk ownership option for first-time buyers wanting space, parking and strong local amenities, while offering manageable ongoing costs and a long lease for future security.
