This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Pickfords Gardens offers straightforward, commuter-friendly living a short walk from Slough Elizabeth Line and the town centre. The flat has a 16ft living room, a fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms, laid out across approximately 712 sq ft — a practical footprint for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The long lease (974 years) and allocated off-street parking with two resident permits are strong ownership fundamentals. The building is modern, double-glazed and benefits from communal grounds and lift access, while heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity — simple but potentially costlier to run than gas.
Known negatives are factual: the area records higher-than-average crime and the development carries a service charge (approx. £1,300pa) plus a ground rent (listed as £345). The apartment is average-sized internally and would benefit from light cosmetic updating to maximise rental yield or resale value.
For buyers prioritising transport links and a low-maintenance, long-lease flat close to central Slough and direct rail into London, this property represents practical value. For those sensitive to running costs or neighbourhood crime statistics, a viewing and local checks are strongly advised.
