This smart two-bedroom terraced home on Gould Road offers an affordable route onto the ladder through 50% shared ownership. Built in 2015, the house has an open-plan kitchen/living space that feels bright and practical, two double bedrooms, an enclosed rear garden and an allocated off-street parking space — everything a first-time buyer typically needs for everyday living.
Monthly outgoings are modest: a low service charge (£10.60pcm) and a part-rent payment (£129.35pcm), with council tax in Band A. The property is warm and efficient (EPC B 85), gas centrally heated and UPVC double glazed. There is scope to buy additional shares (staircasing) in future if you wish to move towards full ownership.
Important practical points: this is a leasehold, shared ownership home with a 115‑year lease remaining and eligibility rules apply (household income limit and first‑time buyer / no other property conditions). Rent and service charge are reviewed periodically (next review April 2026), so factor that into long‑term budgeting. The local area is described as pressured for young families and renters, and while amenities and schools are nearby, parts of the wider area show higher deprivation indicators.
Overall this is a straightforward, ready-to-move-into property suited to first-time purchasers seeking an affordable, low-maintenance home with clear future staircasing potential. Viewings will suit buyers who need budget certainty now and want the option to increase their share later.
