This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Liberty House offers a bright, modern open-plan living space with an island kitchen and a fully tiled en suite bathroom. At about 546 sq ft the layout suits a single buyer or couple seeking a low-maintenance, city-centre location with the practical benefit of an allocated off-street parking space.
The property is offered as 75% shared ownership (full market price £245,000), with a monthly service charge of £139.16 and rent of £198.11pcm. The lease has approximately 116 years remaining and the EPC is rated D. Its proximity — under 10 minutes’ walk to the town centre and station, and a couple of minutes to local supermarkets — makes daily life and commuting straightforward.
This is best suited to first-time buyers wanting an affordable route onto the ladder or investors looking for a ready-to-rent apartment near transport links. Note the local context: the area shows higher-than-average crime and some deprivation indicators, and the building sits in a multi-ethnic hardship classification. Prospective buyers should factor these local conditions into their plans and carry out independent checks.
Overall, the flat delivers contemporary fittings, convenient transport and shopping access, and long lease security. However, shared-ownership costs (service charge and rent) and local area statistics are material considerations for budgeting and long-term plans.
