High Street

If you have been looking for an affordable property in Wargrave, this one combines village-centre living with a surprisingly peaceful setting to the rear.

Set right in the heart of the village, close to the River Thames, Wargrave station, local pubs, coffee shops and everyday amenities, this ground-floor apartment has a very different feel once you step inside and just one of 4 flats in the building.

At the rear, double doors open directly onto a sheltered patio and walled communal garden. It is one of the best features of the property because, despite the High Street address, once you are outside it feels remarkably quiet and removed from the road.

The main living space has been updated by the current owner and combines the kitchen and sitting area without feeling cramped. There is a comfortable seating area, good kitchen storage and workspace, while a generous breakfast bar provides a natural divide between the two areas and somewhere practical to eat, work or entertain happily for up to 6 people.

The double patio doors bring plenty of natural light into the room and make the garden feel like an extension of the living space, particularly during the warmer months.

The bedroom is a good double with fitted wardrobes, while the shower room is finished in a clean, contemporary style.

The tenure is the key identifier and important advantage to purchase. The lease has already been extended by the current owner to approximately 980 years, the property comes with a share of the freehold, the ground rent is peppercorn (£0) and the annual service charge is approximately £1,200. For buyers who are cautious about leasehold property, that makes this a particularly attractive opportunity.

The apartment does not come with allocated parking, but heavily discounted resident parking permits is available. Please contact me for more information on this.

What really sets the property apart is that famous phrase... location, location, location!

Wargrave has a strong community and a lifestyle that is difficult to replicate elsewhere. From the front door you can cross the road for a coffee at H'Artisan, walk a short distance to The Bull for a proper village pub atmosphere with what I can confirm has one of the best Sunday lunches in the county, or head towards the George & Dragon and sit beside the Thames with a cold drink.

The wider area also has a strong calendar of events, including Henley Royal Regatta, Rewind Festival and the Wargrave & Shiplake Regatta, while the Wargrave Festival brings the village together every two years for 2-weeks of spectacular events. This makes this property perfect for a short to mid-term rental investment.

Wargrave station is within walking distance, with services towards Twyford and Henley. Twyford provides onward mainline and Elizabeth Line connections towards Reading in 10-minutes and London Paddington in 25- minutes, while the 850 bus service also links Wargrave with Henley, Marlow, High Wycombe, Twyford and Reading.

For a first-time buyer, downsizer, commuter or investor looking for an easy-to-manage property in the village, this is an opportunity to buy into the Wargrave lifestyle at a price point that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
