A bright, modern one-bedroom apartment in the Paddocks development, newly built in 2023 and finished to a contemporary standard. The property is ready to move into with fitted flooring throughout, a modern kitchen with oven, hob and extractor, and an open-plan living area that maximises natural light. Allocated off-street parking is included.
This listing represents a 50% shared ownership opportunity priced at £87,500 for the initial share, making it a realistic step onto the property ladder for first-time buyers. The apartment has a 125-year lease and an affordable service charge of £165 per month; combined monthly costs are likely lower than buying outright but include rent on the unsold share.
Location benefits include easy access to the A120 and A131 for commuting, proximity to a local railway station, and several well-rated primary schools nearby — including a top 10% rated school in the area. Broadband speeds are fast and the home uses mains gas with a boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note the area records above-average crime and that tenure is shared ownership, which carries ongoing rent and staircasing considerations. The development is modern and low-maintenance, but purchasers should review service charge terms and shared ownership conditions before committing.
