Nestled within an exclusive gated development on the tranquil banks of the River Kennet, this residence offers a rare combination of security, serenity, and style. Designed with the discerning buyer in mind, particularly those looking to downsize without compromise, the property boasts an enviable position where the vibrant energy of Newbury town centre is just a two-minute stroll away, yet the atmosphere remains one of total riverside calm. The lifestyle here is defined by ease and accessibility. From the secure, iron-gated entrance and allocated parking, you are welcomed by immaculately maintained communal areas. A significant benefit is the lift access within the block, whisking you directly to your front door and ensuring this home is as practical as it is luxurious. Inside, the apartment has been masterfully refurbished to a "no stone unturned" standard.

The accommodation is remarkably versatile, offering three generous double bedrooms (currently configured as two suites plus a professional home office/snug). The lower floor features a high-tech kitchen with granite worktops and a spacious double bedroom with a modern en-suite. Upstairs, the sanctuary continues with a further bedroom suite and third bedroom, that would also serve perfectly as a private study, dressing room, or quiet reading nook. For the downsizer, the abundance of built-in storage and a dedicated loft hatch ensures there is plenty of space for cherished belongings.
