A bright, modern one-bedroom apartment in the Centenary Quay area, built 2020 and ready to move into. The open-plan living space opens onto a private balcony, bringing in natural light, while a compact fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom keep maintenance minimal. Two allocated off-street parking spaces are a rare practical benefit for this apartment type.
This home is offered as shared ownership, making it accessible for first-time buyers looking to step onto the property ladder with a lower deposit. The lease has 120 years remaining and running costs include a service charge (approx. £1,976.16 annually) and heating provided via a community scheme — factor these into affordability calculations.
Local amenities and transport are strong selling points: Woolston train station, shops, cafés and waterside walks are within easy reach, and fast broadband plus excellent mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs. The development includes communal facilities and landscaped public spaces.
Important drawbacks to note: the property is leasehold/shared ownership (not a freehold whole unit), there is an ongoing service charge and community heating arrangement, and the surrounding area records higher levels of deprivation despite very low local crime. These are factual considerations for long-term running costs and resale planning.
