2 bed Flat For Rent £1,700
Frankel House sits on the track at the very desirable Newbury Racecourse development, close to the Racecourse railway station.
The town centre is easily reached by foot – along the canal or on paved roads.
In the local area, you have a fantastic choice of local pubs to sample, you’re just a few miles from The Living Rainforest, the unique Watermill Theatre, a selection of golf courses and of course not forgetting Newbury town with its variety of pubs, restaurants (including Michelin starred choices), cinema, shops and businesses.
From Newbury train station there are frequent trains to Reading, London Paddington – accessible in as little 42 minutes – and the newly opened Elizabeth line. Also, Bristol, Wales and the South-West.
Newbury also sits close to the crossroads of the A34 and the M4, giving access to Winchester, the south coast, the Midlands, Wales and London.
Property
Step into the apartment, and there is a spacious entrance hallway with plenty of storage. Engineered oak flooring stretches through into the sitting room/kitchen, the bathrooms have tiled floors, bedrooms are carpeted.
Kitchen/living room
Big, spacious and bright, with full height windows to the south and east for daylong light and fabulous sunrise views. This room gives you scope for your inner interior designer to have some fun – you can create zones, nooks, have one big space or maybe keep things fresh with a regular move around. You have options – it’s all up to you.
From the windows you have incredible views. From the ethereal misty winter mornings looking across to the ancient woodland, to the excitement of cheering on the King’s horses as they gallop past, to the delight of a sultry summer sunset. You can enjoy it all from your second-floor balcony vantage point, which has space for an outdoor sofa, bistro table and chairs, potted plants, climbers, within reason whatever you want. It’s your own manageable mini garden.
Kitchen
The kitchen comes equipped with an AEG 5-zone induction hob, glass splashback and AEG extraction fan. Adjacent, the eye-level AEG double oven. Worktops are Silestone, with upstands.
Storage is plentiful with a horseshoe configuration incorporating wall and base units, including a stack of drawers. Hidden from view you have a built-in Electrolux 60/40 fridge-freezer and dishwasher.
There’s also a smart recessed 1½ bowl sink with draining channels to maintain the sleek streamlined finish of this contemporary kitchen. Perhaps most importantly, the breakfast bar ensures plenty of work space and somewhere to perch on barstools.
Master bedroom
A fabulous corner of floor-to-ceiling windows steals the show and floods this spacious master bedroom with light.
Opposite the south easterly facing windows, you have a large mirrored built-in wardrobes that bounce the light around while providing plentiful storage.
This room can easily accommodate a soft chair or chaise longue – perfect for taking your time while considering what to wear, a dressing table, chest of drawers and an ottoman, and still have plenty of room. A calming space.
Ensuite
A large frosted glass opening window fills the room with light. In front of you, above the back-to-wall loo with dual flush and wall-hung basin with mono tap, a lovely large mirror with useful vanity shelf for toiletry essentials or just beautiful objects. A wide walk-in thermostatically controlled shower and a chrome ladder-style towel radiator to warm your post-shower towel completes the room.
Bedroom
This generous double bedroom has a large mirrored double wardrobe by the window, maximising the natural light. Blinds ensure privacy.
Bathroom
Beautifully tiled with ceramic tiles, with contrasting Silestone shelf beneath a lovely big mirror. The deep bath has a thermostatically controlled shower and folding shower screen, giving you the best of both worlds, and towels are kept toasty warm with the ladder style heated towel radiator. There’s also a Sottini back to wall loo and basin with Grohe monotap.
Outside
The balcony has fabulous views across the track and towards Greenham, and has plenty of space for furniture & plants.
Parking is allocated and permit controlled. A single space is provided, with 15 minute visitor bays. We understand that it is possible to rent another space in the coach park from the Racecourse.
