Set within a converted Victorian schoolhouse, this two-bedroom apartment offers characterful living with practical benefits for first-time buyers. The property comes with a very long lease (999 years from 2014, c. 988 years remaining) and a share of the freehold, reducing common leasehold headaches. You’ll find a modern bathroom, separate kitchen and a bright living room with large windows, ready for immediate occupation.
Outside, generous communal gardens and off-street parking are uncommon conveniences for central Newbury addresses. The building sits on a quiet private road yet is only about 0.8 miles from Newbury train station, making commuting straightforward. Council tax is described as low, and the area is very affluent with low crime — reassuring practical points for new buyers.
Be clear about the property’s fabric: it’s a period building constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls and no assumed wall insulation, and the double-glazing installation date is unknown. That means energy efficiency upgrades (cavity or internal insulation, window works) could be needed to lower running costs further. There is a single bathroom and modest overall floor area (approximately 637 sq ft), which suits a couple or a sharer rather than a large family.
No onward chain makes the purchase process potentially quicker. If you value character, convenience and long-term security of tenure, this apartment is a straightforward, affordable entry into Newbury; if you prioritise top-tier energy efficiency or larger living spaces, budget for targeted upgrades or consider viewing to assess scope.
