This bright second-floor, two-bedroom apartment in St. Andrews Court offers practical town-centre living with immediate transport links — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into the market. The open-plan lounge/kitchen, Juliet balcony and built-in wardrobes create a comfortable, low-maintenance home. Allocated off-street parking and double glazing add useful day-to-day convenience, while an EPC B points to reasonable energy performance despite electric heating.
The property is sold via a 70% shared ownership arrangement with the Guinness Partnership; current rent on the unsold share is £146.28 pcm. Service charge (£1,164.84 pa) and rent together are about £243.35 pcm, and the lease has approximately 105 years remaining. Buyers should budget for staircasing costs if they later wish to buy a greater share or 100% ownership — seek legal advice for exact fees.
Location benefits — close to the railway station and town-centre amenities — suit commuters and investors who value connectivity. However, the immediate area scores high for crime and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental demand. Nearby schools are mixed, with some rated Good and others Inadequate; families should check individual school catchments.
Practical notes: heating is by electric storage heaters (no gas), broadband speeds are average, and mobile signal is excellent. The flat is in a modern block (built 2003–2006) and appears well-kept, but buyers should inspect for any renovation or maintenance needs and verify service charge details and lease information with their solicitor before committing.
