This spacious two-bedroom apartment offers generous living across approximately 951 sq ft, designed for low-maintenance, comfortable living. The open-plan reception flows onto a wide private balcony overlooking well-kept communal gardens, creating a calm outdoor space for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The modern kitchen includes integrated appliances and plentiful storage, while the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and direct access to the contemporary wet-room bathroom.
Offered under an Over 55s Shared Ownership scheme with a fixed 75% share and no rent payable on the remaining equity, the purchase makes higher-quality, age-appropriate housing more attainable. The long lease (about 112 years remaining) and clear tenure details provide security for onward ownership. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and local amenities including shops, cafés, transport links and a Sainsbury’s are within easy reach.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: a service charge of £446.92 per month applies (noted as below average for similar stock), and the property sits in an area with higher-than-average deprivation indicators. The listing is restricted to applicants aged 55 or over and will require an online financial assessment prior to viewing. There is no flooding risk and crime is average for the area.
Overall, this is a roomy, well-presented retirement apartment for someone seeking a secure, low-maintenance home with outdoor space and good local facilities, provided they meet the age and shared-ownership criteria.
