This two-double-bedroom semi-detached house in Hambrook is offered via shared ownership, making it a realistic step onto the property ladder. A minimum 30% share is available at £97,500 (full market value £325,000), with shares up to 80% possible. The home has an open-plan kitchen/dining room, sitting room, ground-floor cloakroom and a family bathroom across an average-sized 845 sq ft layout.
Practical outside space is a clear benefit: a southerly-facing rear garden with decking and lawn, plus two allocated off-street parking spaces and a garden shed. The home sits in a low-crime, very affluent area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters or home workers. Local schools nearby have Good or Outstanding Ofsted ratings.
There are important shared-ownership specifics and costs to note. Based on the 30% share, monthly rent is £570.47, and the service charge is £77.34 pcm (buildings insurance included), giving a total monthly outlay of £647.81. The lease has 112 years remaining. Eligibility requires a local connection to Chichester and scheme criteria must be met; next rent review is due April 2025.
Overall this property suits first-time buyers seeking a lower up-front cost and manageable family space in a well-served area. It also requires buyers to accept ongoing rent/service costs, scheme eligibility restrictions and the practical limits of a compact, modern kitchen.
