Summary - 136 High Street, Upton NN5 4EH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact modern one-bedroom ideal for first-time buyers near shops and schools.
75% shared ownership; rent payable on remaining 25%
A practical first-step on to the property ladder, this one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Upton is offered at 75% shared ownership and sits within a modern 2010 development. The dual-aspect, open-plan living, dining and kitchen area feels bright and practical for everyday living, and the bedroom comfortably fits a double bed. Fitted appliances and double glazing reduce immediate costs, while an EPC rating of B points to good energy performance.
Outside, the apartment includes an allocated off-street parking space accessed via a secure gate and a communal entry with intercom. Local amenities, schools and transport links are within easy walking distance, making this a convenient base for work and leisure. The property has a remaining lease of around 109 years and no recorded flooding risk.
Important points to note: this is a leasehold apartment on a shared-ownership basis, so you will pay rent on the unsold 25% in addition to mortgage payments. The vendor reports a combined monthly charge (rent plus service charge) of £239.59; incoming buyers should confirm exactly how this breaks down and how staircasing (buying more equity) would be handled. At about 438 sq ft, the apartment is compact and best suited to a single person or couple seeking an affordable first home.
Overall, the home offers a low-maintenance modern finish and sensible running costs, making it a realistic move-in option for first-time buyers who prioritise location and energy efficiency over larger living space.
