Large, chain-free two-bed apartment moments from Newbury station and the marketplace.
Large 931 ft² two-bedroom apartment in Newbury town centre
A spacious, chain-free two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Newbury, ideal for commuters or first-time buyers who want town-centre convenience. The open-plan living/kitchen area is a standout, with wrap-around windows giving broad marketplace views and generous natural light. The apartment extends to about 931 ft², unusually large for a town-centre flat.
Practical benefits include immediate access to the railway station, built-in kitchen appliances, and shared off-street parking (first-come, first-served). The purchase comes with 114 years remaining on the lease and one years service charge already paid in advance, easing short-term running costs.
Notable running costs and constraints are clear: the property uses electric heating (room heaters), has an EPC rating of F, and annual service charge of £3,235 with a £250 ground rent. Parking is unallocated, and the building sits in an area with higher-than-average crime levels — factors buyers should weigh against the central location.
This apartment suits a buyer prioritising location, space and low-move-in friction over long-term energy efficiency. It also offers reasonable rental potential for investors due to proximity to transport links and town amenities, though energy and service costs will affect yields.
