This well-presented first-floor apartment on the Riverside development offers a contemporary, low-maintenance home with excellent transport links. The open-plan living area opens onto a small balcony, and allocated off-street parking is included — practical benefits for day-to-day city living. The property is offered at full market value of £295,000 or as a 50% shared ownership option (share £147,500) with monthly rent £385.40 and service charge £187.66.
The flat is compact at approximately 561 sq ft but arranged efficiently: a generous main bedroom, second bedroom suitable for guests or a home office, and a well-proportioned open-plan kitchen/living space. A very long lease (995 years) reduces long-term leasehold risk. Mains gas central heating and good broadband and mobile signal make this ready for modern living.
Buyers should note material considerations: the development sits in an area with very high recorded crime and wider-area deprivation indicators. The property is leasehold/shared ownership with an annual ground rent of £240 and an average service charge of £2,244 — factor these running costs into affordability calculations. The overall size is small, so some may find space limited compared with family homes.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers or city professionals prioritising location, transport and low-maintenance living over large interiors. Verify all lease and cost details with your solicitor and consider the local area profile when deciding to view.
