A purpose-built two-bedroom first-floor apartment within a low-rise, purpose-built block designed for over-55s. The home is sold as a 70% shared ownership interest (cannot be staircased) which removes rental payments on the remaining share and includes a Warden Call Service and communal gardens. Pedestrian access via a footbridge means the flat is level with external approach and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating.
The layout includes an entrance hall with storage cupboard, a bay-windowed lounge, small adjoining kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a shower room. There is ample off-street parking accessed from Ashland Road and communal grounds maintained under a service charge. The property is assessed in Council Tax Band A and is within walking distance of local shops and public transport.
Important practical points: the lease has 63 years remaining — many mortgage lenders are likely to refuse lending on this term. The property is offered under shared ownership at a set 70% share and the lease terms prevent staircasing. The service charge is c. £1,885.32 per year; prospective buyers should factor this into affordability calculations.
The interior is functional but dated in places (notably the kitchen) and the flat warrants a full inspection to confirm condition and any repair needs. This home will suit an older buyer seeking a low-maintenance, community-focused scheme or an investor able to buy with cash or a lender prepared to accept the lease term, and who is comfortable with the shared-ownership restrictions.
