This second-floor, one-bedroom apartment offers an accessible entry onto the property ladder via 40% shared ownership. Set in a modern block constructed 2003–2006, the flat includes an open-plan sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen, bathroom and allocated off-street parking — practical features for a first purchase.
The home is an average-sized 525 sq ft with double glazing and gas central heating served by a boiler and radiators. The lease has 103 years remaining and the EPC is rated C. A video walkthrough and 360 tour are available to help you view remotely before visiting.
Practical positives include an allocated parking space, no upward chain and a comparatively low council tax band. The local area has good schooling options nearby and a range of amenities including shops, pubs and leisure facilities — useful for everyday living.
Material considerations: this is a leasehold shared-ownership property (40% share), so staircasing, resale and service charges will apply and should be checked before committing. Broadband speeds are average and local crime levels are average; the location is a small-town/town-fringe setting rather than central urban. These points matter for convenience and long-term plans.
