This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers an affordable, move-in-ready option in the heart of Newbury. Recently renovated throughout, the flat includes a new open-plan kitchen, new bathroom, and a private paved garden — rare for a town-centre apartment and useful for outdoor space without upkeep.
Practical strengths include a share of freehold, no onward chain and easy walking access to the train station, shops and local amenities. The apartment’s 681 sq ft layout is a comfortable size for first-time buyers or a small household, with low flood risk and a cheap council tax band.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property’s heating is electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which can raise running costs; the surrounding area reports higher crime levels; and the exterior shows mixed materials and some dated paintwork that may need maintenance. Broadband speeds are average.
Overall this is a competitively priced, newly renovated flat that suits buyers seeking a low-entry purchase close to transport and town amenities. It’s particularly appealing for those prioritising location and a private garden, but worth budgeting for energy running costs and any external upkeep.
