Chain-free, redecorated apartment near station with two carport spaces.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment, newly redecorated August 2025
A compact, freshly redecorated top-floor apartment ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-move-in city base. At about 528 sq ft the accommodation is practical — entrance hall, living/dining room with an east-facing Juliet balcony, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The neutral contemporary finish and wood-effect flooring give a clean blank canvas and reduce initial costs.
Practical benefits include secure communal entry, carport parking for two vehicles and well-kept communal gardens. The flat is within easy walking distance of Newbury town centre and the railway station, offering fast links to London Paddington and excellent local amenities including shops, leisure and schools.
Leasehold details are straightforward: 125-year lease from 2000 (about 100 years remaining) and a service charge of £145 pcm (£1,740 pa). The property is chain-free, which can speed completion. Council tax is described as affordable.
Notable negatives: the apartment is small and on the top floor, so internal space is limited. The wider area records higher crime levels than average — buyers should satisfy themselves on local safety and security measures. There are no reported flood risks but the leasehold status, service charge and remaining lease length are important for long-term ownership costs and resale value.
