DESCRIPTION
Experience the pinnacle of sophisticated town centre living in this exquisite executive duplex penthouse. 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 heart of the home is the expansive open-plan living and dining area, featuring a bespoke window seat and a south-facing Juliet balcony. From here, you can enjoy fabulous, uninterrupted views across the water and the beautifully manicured communal gardens, the perfect backdrop for morning coffee or evening relaxation.

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.

OUTSIDE
Outside, the unique riverbank setting comes into its own. The south-facing communal gardens offer a private slice of the countryside in the heart of the town, ideal for riverside picnics or quiet reflection by the water. With the railway station just a stone's throw away (offering a 41-minute fast train to London Paddington) and the town’s premier shops and cafes at your fingertips, Bewicks Reach represents a rare opportunity to secure a "lock-up-and-leave" lifestyle in Newbury’s most prestigious waterside pocket. The property benefits from a designated parking space and communal gardens.
