Buyers should note this is a leasehold shared ownership home (55% share, 111 years remaining on the lease). There is a monthly rent on the unsold equity plus a service charge and buildings insurance. Staircasing is restricted to preserve long-term affordability. The property uses electric storage heaters and has an EPC rating D, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
This home suits first-time buyers or those wanting an affordable route into a desirable rural community. It offers straightforward living, outside space that opens onto open countryside, and reasonable service charges, balanced against the restrictions and ongoing costs of shared ownership and the need to consider heating and energy efficiency improvements.
