Summary - Minnow Gardens, Soham, CB7 CB7 6AE
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Energy-efficient 2024 semi with garage — shared ownership for eligible buyers.
40% shared ownership option — 40% = £136,000; 100% = £340,000
A bright, energy-efficient 2024-built semi-detached home set over three floors, ideal for first-time buyers seeking a modern family layout. The property benefits from solar panels, an EPC B rating and gas central heating, keeping running costs lower than older stock. The ground floor offers a kitchen-diner with French doors to the garden, a lounge and a downstairs WC; two double bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the first floor, with a top-floor master bedroom and en-suite.
This is a shared ownership opportunity: a 40% share is priced at £136,000 (full market value £340,000). Monthly outgoings on a 40% share include rent £451.88, service charge £30.38 and insurance £24.67. The lease has 125 years remaining. These terms make the home accessible for buyers earning under £80,000 who meet shared ownership criteria, but the shared-ownership model and ongoing rent should be considered when assessing long-term plans.
Practical positives include a double garage, driveway parking, private rear garden and relatively low service charges. The three-storey layout gives good separation of living and sleeping space but involves multiple flights of stairs, which may not suit all buyers. Soham offers local schools rated Good to Outstanding and straightforward rail and road links to Cambridge, Ely and beyond, useful for commuters.
Overall, this newly built property is a cost-effective route onto the ladder for eligible buyers who want modern, low-energy accommodation. Be aware of leasehold/shared-ownership commitments, monthly rent and the three-floor layout when deciding if this is the right long-term fit.
