The town is located approximately 96 km (60 miles) west of Central London, 32 km (20 miles) west of Reading and 45 km (28 miles) south of Oxford.

Situated on the River Kennet and the Kennet and Avon Canal, Newbury is steeped in history and surrounded by some of the UK's most outstandingly beautiful countryside. It is also the centre of the West Berkshire administrative area (population 161,000 as at 2021). Its geographical position and road and rail communications is expected to underpin its ambitions to grow as a preferred for innovative and technology-based businesses. Newbury is located at the crossroads of the M4 Motorway, and the north- south A34 dual carriageway connecting the south coast to Oxford and beyond. The town is connected to the national railway network with a current fastest journey time to London Paddington of 42

Minutes (50 miles).

Network Rail have recently electrified the route between Newbury and London which will result in more frequent services and even faster journey time.

Newbury boasts many historical attractions and places of interest as well as a world-famous racecourse.

The property is situated within the heart of the town centre, occupying a prominent corner position on Bartholomew Street, at its junction with Market Street.

Newbury train station is an approximate three-minute walk to the south.

The property benefits from being adjacent to the former Kennet Shopping Centre, which is undergoing a major redevelopment known as the 'Old Town' project.

A planning application was approved by West Berkshire Council in September 2025 for the partial demolition of the existing building on site and the development of 317 new homes along with the provision of five new commercial units fronting Bartholomew Street and Market Place. The existing Vue cinema is set to remain in place, and the centre is served by a 500-space car park. For further information see www.oldtownnewbury.com.
