A bright, well-presented fifth-floor apartment with a private balcony and pleasant views over communal gardens. The open-plan living area and high-spec kitchen with integrated appliances make the flat feel modern and move-in ready. Two double bedrooms and two bathrooms (including an en-suite) suit sharers or a small family.
This is offered as a 30% shared ownership opportunity (full market value £320,000; 30% share £96,000). Monthly rent on the unsold share is quoted at £586, with an average annual service charge of £2,109 and no ground rent. The lease has around 120 years remaining — a straightforward position for buyers who need lower upfront costs.
Practical benefits include an allocated underground parking space and excellent transport links; the town centre and railway station are within easy reach, making the flat well-suited to commuters. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and flood risk is very low.
Notable negatives are the high local crime level and the ongoing service charge and monthly rent obligations inherent in shared ownership. Buyers should verify all costs and eligibility, and consider long-term running costs alongside the lower purchase price.
