Allocated off-street parking and communal gardens in town centre location
0.3 miles from Newbury train station — excellent commuter location
Leasehold with approx. 103 years remaining (125 years from Mar 2005)

A recently renovated one-bedroom flat set within a characterful Victorian conversion in the heart of Newbury town centre. Original features such as high ceilings, large sash-style windows and a decorative fireplace give strong period character, while the fit-out includes an integrated kitchen and a modern family bathroom. Ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a city-centre base or an investor after a centrally located rental, the flat sits just 0.3 miles from Newbury train station and includes allocated off-street parking and communal gardens.
Buyers should note material facts: the building is solid-brick with assumed no wall insulation, heating is by electric room heaters, and crime levels in the immediate area are reported as high. The apartment is leasehold with approximately 103 years remaining (125-year term from March 2005). Council tax is described as cheap, and broadband speeds are average.
This property is offered chain-free and presents immediate move-in potential due to recent renovation, but also clear running-cost considerations because of electric heating and likely retrofit costs if insulation or a new heating system is desired. For first-time buyers wanting central convenience and period character, or investors seeking a compact central flat with parking, this offers a compelling, honest prospect.
