Summary - Flat 22 Mallard Court, West Mills RG14 5HL
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Chain-free, newly renovated flat ideal for independent over-55s seeking low-maintenance living.
One double bedroom in a 510 sq ft apartment
A comfortable one-bedroom apartment in a well-regarded McCarthy Stone development, set beside the Kennet and Avon Canal and a short walk from Newbury town centre. The apartment has been newly renovated with fresh carpets and presents a bright sitting room, double bedroom and compact kitchen — suitable for independent over-55s seeking low-maintenance living close to shops and leisure facilities.
Residents benefit from practical communal facilities: a lounge, laundry room, on-site manager, lift access to all floors, recycling area and landscaped gardens with ample parking for cars and mobility scooters. The property is offered chain free and comes with a long lease (97 years remaining), making it straightforward to move into.
There are some practical points to note. Heating is by electric storage heaters and electricity is the main fuel source. The building’s cavity walls are recorded without added insulation (assumed), and windows are double glazed pre-2002. The apartment sits in an area with a medium flood risk and broadband speeds are average despite excellent mobile signal.
Overall this is a ready-to-move-into retirement apartment that combines convenient town-centre access and pleasant canal-side surroundings with communal support and easy parking. Buyers should be comfortable with leasehold ownership and electric heating systems, and may wish to consider insulation or heating upgrades in future.
