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.
