Summary - 9, OAKWELL COURT, BECKSIDE GARDENS CA8 1UU
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Affordable shared-ownership flat with garden close to town amenities.
50% shared ownership - affordable entry-level option
A ground-floor, two-double-bedroom flat offered as 50% shared ownership in Brampton’s market town. The layout includes an entrance hall with storage, lounge with timber-framed French doors to a low-maintenance rear garden, separate dining room, small kitchen and a three-piece shower room. The block was built c.1996–2002 and benefits from double glazing and electric storage heating throughout.
This property will suit a buyer seeking an affordable entry into the local market or a downsizer wanting single-level living with a private outdoor space. Local amenities, schools and good broadband are all within easy reach, and the quiet, low-crime setting supports comfortable everyday living.
Important drawbacks are explicit: the flat requires renovation and modernisation (notably the dated 1980s-style kitchen and worn internal finishes). The lease has about 67 years remaining — this may restrict mortgage availability and could deter some lenders or buy-to-let finance, so prospective buyers should seek lender confirmation before committing.
Practical positives include low council tax, simple, low-maintenance gardens front and rear, and excellent mobile signal. Heating is by electric storage heaters (no communal gas), so running costs and suitability for some buyers should be checked. Overall, the home offers affordable shared-ownership access with clear scope for cosmetic and kitchen improvement to add value.
