Top-floor two-bedroom apartment with countryside views
A bright top-floor two-bedroom apartment offered as a 50% shared-ownership share for £123,750, ideal for first-time buyers seeking an affordable route onto the local market. The open lounge/dining room faces the countryside and combined with double glazing and gas central heating, the flat feels warm and light. Allocated off-street parking and two communal storage cupboards add everyday convenience, and there is no onward chain.
Buyers should note this is a shared-ownership sale administered by English Rural; purchasers must be approved. The monthly payment includes a rent element of £334.39 (including service charge and buildings insurance). The lease has approximately 85 years remaining, which may affect mortgage options later and should be checked with a solicitor.
Running costs include an average service charge of £1,486 and a notably high ground rent of £2,290. Council tax is described as affordable. The building is modern and in an affluent, low-crime area with good local primary schools and fast broadband, making it practical for working-from-home or commuting.
Overall this apartment suits buyers wanting a manageable entry into homeownership with countryside views and practical parking, provided they budget for service charges, the high ground rent, and confirm lease and lending details before committing.
