Summary - 8 Barton Court, Cambridge Road West GU14 6QA
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Top-floor apartment with garage and good local schools, ideal for first-time buyers.
South-facing balcony with strong natural light
This bright two-bedroom top-floor flat offers comfortable living and usable space across approximately 664 sq ft. The south-facing balcony brings generous daylight into the living room, while a separate kitchen and two storage areas provide practical day-to-day convenience. A garage is included, a notable benefit for secure parking and extra storage in this area.
There are clear positives for a first-time buyer: a well-proportioned layout, good local schools, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus a central Farnborough position with nearby amenities and transport links. The building dates from the early 1970s and presents a straightforward, traditional layout that will suit buyers seeking a sensible starter home.
Buyers must be aware this is a leasehold property with 79 years remaining. Mortgage lenders commonly impose strict criteria or may refuse mortgages on flats with fewer than around 80 years left; a lease extension is in progress but cannot be relied on until completed. Annual costs include a service charge of about £2,100 and ground rent of £200, which affect running costs and mortgage affordability.
There are some other practical considerations: the block has higher recorded local crime levels and the cavity walls are likely uninsulated (as built). Heating is gas boiler and radiators and the windows are double glazed, though installation dates are unknown. Overall, this flat is a convenient, well-located starter property with clear improvement potential, but the short lease and running costs are essential factors for mortgage approval and long-term value.
