Offered as a 55% shared ownership, this larger-than-average ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Whyteleafe suits first-time buyers seeking commuter convenience. The open-plan lounge/kitchen benefits from patio doors that bring in natural light and lead directly to the allocated parking area, while the bedroom and bathroom offer practical, comfortable accommodation across 560 sq ft.
The location is a key strength: three train stations are within walking distance, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal supporting homeworking and streaming. Built circa 2003–2006 and fitted with double glazing, the block presents a modern finish and manageable running costs, though the property is leasehold with 106 years remaining and an average service charge of £1,790 per year.
Be aware of a few material points: the patio doors open onto the car park, which may affect privacy and noise at ground-floor level, and local crime is reported as above average. The tenure and shared-ownership arrangement mean purchasers should check eligibility criteria, costs for staircasing, and solicitors should verify lease details and any restrictions.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located starter home with commuter links, allocated parking and scope to personalise. It will suit a first-time buyer wanting easy transport access and a low-maintenance modern apartment, provided they accept the shared-ownership model and ground-floor trade-offs.
