2 bed 1 bath Penthouse
Affordable shared-ownership entry in a modern urban development.
Top-floor penthouse with balcony and open-plan living
This top-floor penthouse is a compact, contemporary two-bedroom flat sold as a 25% shared-ownership share, offered chain-free and available immediately. At 474 sq ft it suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable route onto the ladder, with an open-plan living area that flows onto a balcony for outside space and secure off-street parking beneath the building.
The home is neutrally presented and benefits from modern construction (2007–2011), double glazing and an EPC rating of C. Heating is provided by an air-source heat pump with radiators, helping energy performance. Service charges are below average at £204 per year and council tax sits in band B, keeping running costs relatively low.
There are important considerations: the lease has 84 years remaining and will need renewal sooner rather than later, which can affect mortgageability and future resale. The purchase carries a 25% share with a monthly rent of £601 payable on the unsold portion; there is also an annual ground rent of £345. The property has a medium flood risk—buyers should obtain detailed flood and insurance advice.
Local amenities include green spaces, walking and cycling routes, good public transport links and nearby schools rated Good. This property is practical for a first-time buyer prepared to manage a shared-ownership arrangement and the implications of a shorter lease, offering an economical entry into ownership with immediate occupation possible.
