A bright ground-floor maisonette arranged around a long 27'7" open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, presented as a practical starter home or rental. Two double bedrooms sit to the front, with a modern bathroom and in-unit boiler serving gas central heating. The unit overlooks a greensward and comes with two allocated parking spaces directly in front — rare for this type of property.
This sale is offered as 35% shared ownership, designed for buyers who meet the scheme criteria (household income cap applies). The advertised price reflects the 35% share; a monthly rental charge of £478.82 is payable on the unsold equity, and the annual service charge is £1,584.72. The lease started in 2020 and has approximately 119 years remaining, with an option to purchase larger shares later (staircasing).
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, very low flood risk and low local crime. The maisonette sits in a settled suburban area with nearby shops, bus links and several well-regarded schools, making it suitable for first-time buyers or small families seeking a low-maintenance home.
Material drawbacks are straightforward: this is a shared-ownership leasehold property with ongoing rent and service charges, and outside space is limited to a small communal frontage rather than a private garden. Prospective purchasers should check eligibility for the shared ownership scheme and budget for the monthly rental and service charge alongside mortgage costs.
