1 bed Flat For Sale £215,000
Easy walking distance, across parkland to Newbury Town Centre, with its fine array of shops and waterways
Also close to some lovely walks across open fields, with marvellous views.
A well presented and unusually spacious one bedroom flat.
Peaceful location to live, with good amenities and transport links.
On the second floor of the grand building, formerly part of St Bartholomew’s School.
Description/location: A substantial and grand building with a most impressive reception hall and staircase with stained glass windows. The conversion was undertaken about 8 years ago when the school relocated to a new building on the adjoining site. We suggest this is an unusually large one bedroom flat, with en suite dressing room/walk in wardrobe. The reception accommodation can easily accommodate eight to ten visitors! The kitchen is well fitted, including a full size fridge/freezer, dishwasher and electric hob/oven. The communal gardens, often not found in modern developments, provide a lovely peaceful setting with some magnificent specimen trees and shrubs. Just a 15 minute walk to the Kennet and Avon Canal, offering lovely canal side walks. The flat has a practical and contemporary feel and is a generous sized apartment, with a gross internal floor area of about 600 sq ft.

For the commuter, there are fast services direct from Newbury railway station to London (Paddington), the fast service taking just 41 minutes. The A34, which at this point is the Newbury Bypass, provides easy access to the M4 (Junction 13) just to the north and the M3 to the south.
