This bright two-bedroom duplex maisonette in Burgess Springs offers city-centre living with practical advantages for first-time buyers. Built in 2018, the home feels modern and quiet, with underfloor heating, good soundproofing and a private balcony overlooking the development. Allocated gated parking and excellent transport links — frequent fast trains to London in around 35 minutes — make it a convenient commuter base.
Offered as a 40% shared ownership opportunity (option to buy 100%), the property suits buyers seeking a lower-entry route onto the housing ladder. The internal layout spans two floors with an open-plan living/kitchen/diner, downstairs WC, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom across approximately 724 sq ft. The 129-year lease provides long-term security.
Buyers should note the financial and location considerations plainly: the scheme carries a significant service charge (circa £375.61 pcm / £4,507.32 pa), and there is an ongoing monthly rent on the unsold share (around £550.27 pcm). The area records very high crime levels, so prospective purchasers should factor security and insurance costs into their plans. Additional leasehold-related fees may apply.
For someone prioritising transport, central amenities and a modern, low-maintenance finish, this maisonette is a practical, affordable starting point. If you plan to grow into full ownership, the ability to stair‑case to 100% ownership and the long lease make this a realistic long-term option — provided the service charge and local crime context are acceptable.
