This compact one-bedroom apartment offers modern, energy-efficient living in a 2020 build, arranged as an open-plan living and kitchen area with a generously sized double bedroom. At about 404 sq ft (approximately 35–40 sqm), the layout suits a single professional or couple seeking a low-maintenance home close to local amenities.
The property is offered as shared ownership (40% share from £110,000) so buyers should expect a monthly rent on the unsold share (example: £538.94pcm) plus an estimated service charge of around £108pcm (annual service charge quoted £1,297.32). The long lease remaining (about 119–120 years) is adequate for mortgage lenders, but eligibility and combined housing costs should be checked before viewing.
Practical features include lift access to all floors, secure intercom entry, well-maintained communal grounds and fast broadband and mobile signal. The building’s new construction and good thermal performance make it relatively energy-efficient, though the main heating is by electric room heaters which can be costlier than gas alternatives.
Important considerations: this is a leasehold shared-ownership flat — ownership rules, rent reviews and service charges can affect overall affordability. The apartment’s small overall size means storage and entertaining space are limited, so viewings should check layout and storage suitability for your needs.
