A great choice for first-time buyers looking for an affordable step onto the property ladder, this home provides bright, practical accommodation with a simple layout that is easy to make your own. The 60% shared ownership arrangement provides an accessible route into home ownership for eligible buyers.

A secure communal entrance leads into the building, with the apartment opening into a spacious hallway. Two generous cupboards provide useful storage for coats, shoes and everyday household items.

The main living area is positioned at the front, where a half-height wall creates a natural divide between the kitchen and lounge while keeping the space feeling open. The kitchen has modern dark wood units, an integrated oven and gas hob, with a large window bringing in plenty of natural light. This looks towards a lawn screened by established hedging, providing a pleasant green outlook and some privacy from the road.

The lounge is bright and neutrally decorated, giving a new owner a blank canvas for their own furniture and style. Its connection with the kitchen also creates a sociable space for relaxing, cooking or having friends over.

Both double bedrooms are positioned towards the rear and overlook the residents' parking area. The second bedroom offers plenty of flexibility and could work well as a guest room or home office. A modern three-piece bathroom is located at the end of the hallway and serves the accommodation.

Outside, there is an allocated parking space along with visitor parking.
