This immaculate one-bedroom apartment is offered on a 40% shared ownership basis, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking modern, low-maintenance living close to Central Milton Keynes. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen stretches over 22ft, with a contemporary fitted kitchen and integrated appliances. A generous balcony and a well-kept communal garden extend the living space outdoors. Underground allocated parking is included. The property measures about 527 sq ft, has an EPC rating of B and around 120 years remaining on the lease.
Ongoing costs are important to note: the housing association rent is £332.21 per month and the vendor states a monthly service charge of £189.75 (about £2,277 annually). Council tax is described as cheap. These predictable charges suit buyers who prefer a managed building but will affect monthly affordability and should be factored into budgeting.
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and close walking distance to shops, the Theatre, Xscape, the train station and Campbell Park’s walks. The local area is an urban cultural mix with average deprivation; nearby schools mostly rated Good. A material local concern is a high crime level for the immediate area — buyers should consider security needs and view the site at different times of day.
Overall this is a move-in ready apartment that suits someone looking to buy on a shared ownership route into Milton Keynes’ central fringe. It offers contemporary fixtures, outdoor space and secure parking, balanced against monthly housing association costs and local crime statistics.
