This modern two-bedroom end-terrace offers an affordable route into homeownership via 50% shared ownership, positioned in the sought-after village of Scotter. The ground floor includes a fitted kitchen to the front, a bright lounge-diner with a feature fireplace and French doors onto a low-maintenance enclosed garden, and a useful study for home working. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom — a compact, well-planned layout suited to first-time buyers or downsizers.
Practical everyday living is supported by residents’ off-street parking, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, and mains gas central heating with radiators. The property was built in the 2000s and is double-glazed with cavity walls (assumed insulated). Council tax is very low and flood risk is none, which helps running costs.
Important considerations: the home is leasehold with about 80 years remaining on the lease; some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend or apply stricter terms because of the lease length. The sale is shared ownership (50% share) so monthly rent is payable on the unsold portion. The vendor requests the buyer purchase the legal searches in the pack, which will be billed at £360 on completion. These are material points for financing and ongoing cost planning.
Overall this is a sensible starter home in a quiet village location: low-maintenance outside space, a handy study for flexible working, and practical parking, but buyers should check mortgage eligibility for the remaining lease length and factor the shared-ownership rent and required legal pack fee into affordability calculations.
