A compact, well-presented first-floor apartment offered as a 25% shared ownership. The open-plan living/dining area and fitted kitchen give a modern, low-maintenance layout, while two double bedrooms and a bathroom meet practical needs for a first home or rental. Built in 2009, the block benefits from double glazing, gas central heating, security entry and wired smoke alarms.
The purchase is for a 25% share; Platform Housing owns the remaining 75% with a monthly rent of £381.95 covering service charge and buildings insurance. The lease has approximately 83 years remaining. The property includes an allocated parking space, bin and bike stores, and is within walking distance of shops, schools and bus links.
Size is limited at around 408 sq ft, so storage and livable space are modest. The area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indices, factors to weigh for families or long-term buyers. Council Tax Band B and an EPC rating of C are practical positives for running costs.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-upkeep entry onto the property ladder via shared ownership, or an investor looking for a straightforward, tenant-ready apartment in a village-centre location. Viewings recommended to confirm space and suitability given the compact footprint.
