This one-bedroom leasehold apartment on Lowestoft Drive offers an affordable, chain-free entry into Slough’s property market. At about 376 sq ft it suits a single buyer or couple looking for a compact, low-maintenance home or a straightforward buy-to-let near good transport links. The building’s communal gardens and off-street parking are practical extras that add everyday convenience.
The flat is presented in good order with a modern galley kitchen and a light living space. Its location in Cippenham places it close to Burnham train station and the Elizabeth Line for direct access into central London, plus quick access to the M4. Local shops, restaurants on Bath Road and several well-rated schools are within easy reach.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 92 years remaining, a service charge averaging £1,560 annually and a small ground rent of £90. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than mains gas, which may affect running costs. The apartment’s compact footprint limits storage and living space, so it’s best suited to buyers who prioritise location and low upkeep over large internal rooms.
Overall this is a sensible, well-located starter home or rental purchase. Buyers should verify service and lease documentation and consider a survey to check services and heating efficiency before committing.
