A bright, modern two-bedroom first-floor apartment prepared for a first-time buyer or investor seeking low-maintenance living. The open-plan living area is the heart of the home, with a contemporary kitchen neatly set to one side and large windows that let in good natural light. Both bedrooms are doubles in practical layouts; the second bedroom is smaller, better suited to a home office or guest room.
Practical benefits include two allocated off-street parking spaces, secure entry and bicycle storage, and proximity to Thatcham Discovery Centre and local schools. The property is leasehold with 117 years remaining, a modest ground rent (£175) and a below-average service charge (£850), making running costs predictable. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent and crime levels are low.
Be clear on a few trade-offs: the apartment totals about 598 sq ft, so overall living space is compact compared with family homes. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can be more expensive in colder months. The home is leasehold, so future buyers should factor in leasehold arrangements and ongoing service charges.
Overall this is a contemporary, well-located home that suits a first-time buyer, couple or investor wanting a straightforward, low-upkeep property with good transport links and allocated parking.
