A bright, modern ground-floor apartment released in 2019, offered as 45% shared ownership — ideal for a first-time buyer stepping on the ladder. The open-plan lounge/kitchen opens onto a balcony, and two double bedrooms include an en-suite, making the layout comfortable for couples or small families. Built-in appliances and contemporary finishes reduce immediate work needs.
Practical benefits include two allocated parking spaces, gas central heating, double glazing, an EPC B rating and an unusually long lease (approx. 996 years). Running costs to note are an estimated service charge of about £130 per month and a monthly rent of around £406.80 payable on the remaining 55% share. Council tax sits in band B.
The apartment is compact at about 474 sq ft, so space-conscious buyers should inspect to confirm it meets storage and room-size needs. The property is leasehold and in an area with above-average local crime statistics, which may be relevant for some buyers. Buyers should verify service charge, rent and any legal details with their solicitor prior to exchange.
For someone seeking a low-maintenance, contemporary home close to shops, schools and good commuter links, this apartment offers an affordable route into the local market. The shared-ownership model suits those who prefer lower upfront costs but should be chosen with a clear understanding of ongoing rental and service commitments.
