A compact, newly renovated one-bedroom ground-floor flat in the heart of Newbury town centre, offered with a new lease and a negotiable share of freehold. The apartment has been recently converted and fitted with a new kitchen and bathroom, gas central heating and double glazing — practical, low-maintenance features for an urban first home or rental investment.
At about 387 sq ft, the accommodation is small but efficiently arranged: entrance from Bartholomew Street, a living room, modern kitchen, shower room and a double bedroom. The location is a principal selling point — immediate access to shops, cafés, public transport and a wide range of local amenities makes daily life easy and boosts rental appeal.
Buyers should note the flat sits in a period mid-terrace building likely constructed c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls and no known wall insulation. Crime levels in the area are reported as high, which may affect perceived desirability and insurance costs. Service charge and ground rent are modest (£960 p.a. service charge; £150 p.a. ground rent) and the property will be sold on leasehold with a lease granted on completion.
This property will suit a first-time buyer prioritising central convenience or an investor seeking a compact town-centre rental with low immediate maintenance needs. The small size limits flexibility but reduces upkeep; consider the area crime profile and potential costs for insulation or long-term upgrades if environmental performance is a priority.
