A bright one-bedroom apartment offered as a 25% shared ownership share, ideal for first-time buyers seeking a modern, low-stress entry onto the property ladder. The open-plan living and kitchen area is finished to a contemporary standard and includes flooring throughout, creating a move-in ready feel. The development is new (2024) and benefits from allocated off-street parking and good mobile signal.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: this is a leasehold property with 125 years remaining and an average annual service charge of £1,416. Broadband speeds on site are reported as very slow, which may affect home working or streaming without alternative arrangements. The advertised price reflects purchase of a 25% share; additional rent and staircasing costs apply if you increase ownership later.
Location is a genuine selling point. Beaulieu Park offers shops, local leisure facilities and open recreation space nearby, with planning consent for a new railway station expected to open around 2026—potentially improving commuting options. The apartment’s gas-fired boiler and radiator heating are standard for the area and the build has average thermal performance.
Overall, this is a practical, modern starter home for a buyer prioritising affordability, nearby amenities and a new development environment. Buyers who need fast broadband or prefer full ownership from the outset should consider those trade-offs before viewing.
