This bright two-bedroom semi-detached home on Butterfield Drive is offered via Shared Ownership, making it a practical route onto the ladder in a quiet Bassingbourn location. The ground floor has an entrance hall, a modern kitchen and a spacious open-plan living/dining area that opens onto a private rear garden. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the first floor.
The property is being sold as a 50% share of a £340,000 valuation (purchase price shown £170,000). Monthly outgoings for the share are clear: rent £323.98 plus a service charge of £89.19 (total monthly charge £413.17). A minimum 5% deposit is required for the share. The remaining lease term is 113 years — a healthy length, but one to check with your solicitor and mortgage adviser.
Practical strengths include allocated parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus a low-crime, very affluent area with good links to nearby towns. The electric heating (room heaters) and EPC band D are worth noting: running costs may be higher than for gas-heated homes. Service charge applies and the rent increases annually each April.
This home suits first-time buyers or couples looking for an affordable step onto the property ladder who value a modern interior, outside space and straightforward monthly costs. Be aware of the leasehold status, ongoing service charge and the electric heating when assessing affordability and future running costs.
