This two-bedroom second-floor apartment in the town-centre St. Andrews Court offers a practical, affordable step onto the property ladder. The open-plan living/kitchen, built-in wardrobes in the main bedroom, allocated parking bay and double glazing make it a low-maintenance home for a first-time buyer or commuting professional. The property was built 2003–2006, has an EPC B and approximately 125 years remaining on the lease.
The home is currently set up as 70% shared ownership with the option to purchase 100% (priced and backed by a recent RICS valuation). Buyers should factor in staircasing costs and seek legal advice about additional fees. Annual service charge is £1,164.84 and the tenure is leasehold — important considerations for long-term budgeting.
Practical drawbacks are clear and stated: heating is by electric storage heaters (no gas supply), which can be more expensive than gas central heating, and the area records higher-than-average crime and significant deprivation indices. Broadband speeds are average. The apartment suits someone prioritising central location, allocated parking and commuter convenience over a large private garden or rural tranquillity.
For a first-time buyer wanting easy access to the railway station and town-centre amenities, this flat offers straightforward, move-in ready accommodation with potential to stair-case to full ownership. Prospective purchasers should verify lease, ground rent and staircasing costs with their solicitor before committing.
