This two-bedroom new-build semi-detached home offers a low-entry route onto the ladder through Shared Ownership, with purchase options from 25%–75% and a 5% deposit example from £3,760. The house comes with a 10-year NHBC warranty, a 990-year lease and modern energy-saving features — air source heating, solar panels and high-performance glazing — helping to keep running costs down and supporting a predicted EPC A.
Internally the layout is practical: entrance hall, living room, open-plan shaker kitchen/dining with integrated appliances and French doors to a turfed, fenced garden, plus a downstairs WC. Two double bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the first floor. Carpets are fitted throughout with vinyl in wet areas for easy maintenance.
Outside benefits include private off-street parking with an electric vehicle charging point and a private driveway. The specification and new-build warranty make this a straightforward purchase for buyers prioritising energy efficiency and low maintenance rather than period character or large rooms.
Buyers should note the compact overall size (c. 321 sq ft) — this is a small home — and that it is a leasehold Shared Ownership property, so a reduced rent will be payable on the unsold share. The local area scores high on deprivation and records above-average crime rates, factors to consider when comparing schooling, commute and long-term resale. Hetton town centre and local schools are within about a mile, with Durham and Sunderland accessible by car.
