Set on the top floor of a converted brick mill, this two-bedroom apartment offers striking views down the River Lambourn and well-kept communal riverside gardens. The flat has been recently refurbished with a new Optiplan kitchen, quartz worktops, integrated appliances and a Quooker tap, plus a newly fitted shower room. Underfloor heating is installed in the kitchen and shower room and air-conditioning/heat-exchange units serve the lounge and principal bedroom.
Practical benefits include a very long effective lease (988 years) with a quarter share of the freehold, allocated off-street parking and straightforward walking access to Newbury town centre, the railway station and local employers including Vodafone. The apartment is a compact, well-specified home suited to a professional couple, first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking waterside character with modern fittings.
Considerations: the building is a multi-unit mill conversion served by communal stairs to the top floor (no lift). Heating is by electric storage heaters (main fuel electric), which may affect running costs compared with mains gas. The property has communal, not private, gardens and is in an area recorded as having above-average crime levels, which some buyers may wish to investigate further.
Overall, this apartment combines characterful waterside appeal and a high-quality recent refurbishment with reassuring leasehold security. Early viewing is recommended for buyers prioritising location, long leasehold tenure and a ready-to-live-in finish.
