Newtown Road, Newbury, RG14

Jago Court is a quiet, purpose-built development just over 20 years old. It’s situated towards the top of the historic Newtown Road, which runs south from St John’s Church and the Commonwealth Newtown Road Cemetery to Monks Lane and Wash Common.

From here, you’re just a short walk from Newbury Retail Park, Tesco Extra, The Two Watermills pub, Newbury Rugby Club, Wash Common Pharmacy and David Lloyd leisure centre. In the car, it’s just a few minutes’ drive to Wash Common with its shops, dentist, golf and other sporting options, or into Newbury for a wide choice of shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs, cinema, retail and leisure facilities.

Entrance

The front door leads you into a spacious hallway, the central hub of this light top-floor apartment. Here you have room for console table or similar, as well as two built-in storage closets. 

Off the hallway is the family bathroom, two double bedrooms and the living/dining room. 

Living/dining room

The proportions of this well-sized room give you choices for how best to arrange and live in it. French doors to one end open onto a Juliet balcony, providing tree-top views and a refreshing flow of air on warmer summer days. 

This room can easily accommodate a family dining table and – depending on the size of dining table – a desk to one side for a home office, in addition to sofas, TV and entertainment systems and more.

Kitchen

Through a wide opening from the dining area is the streamlined horseshoe-shaped kitchen. The colour palette and choice of cabinets create a stylish, minimalist, clutter-free space that contains everything you need for culinary creativity.

The wealth of cupboards, drawers and base units have a cream wood-effect finish, brushed steel handles and a hard-wearing stone-effect work surface. The practical tiled floor complements the cabinetry perfectly, while the black upstand, splashback and hob create a stylish monochrome contrast.
