Summary - Pipistrelle Way, Great Whelnetham IP30 0BF
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable 44% shared-ownership two-bed in a peaceful village, with garden and parking.
44% minimum shared ownership share available
This recently built (2018) two-bedroom semi offers an accessible route onto the property ladder via shared ownership, with a minimum 44% share available. The house feels modern and efficient, heated by an air-source heat pump and fitted with double glazing; straightforward accommodation includes a lounge, kitchen-diner, ground floor WC and two bedrooms. Off-street parking and a landscaped rear garden add practical family appeal in a quiet village setting near Bury St. Edmunds.
Shared ownership reduces the upfront cost — the 44% share is priced at £123,200 with an estimated monthly rent of about £419 and a modest service charge (£10.50). The full market value is £280,000. The leasehold tenure and shared-ownership model suit first-time buyers wanting lower initial costs but who accept ongoing rent and the usual shared-ownership restrictions.
Practical considerations are clear: broadband speeds are average, the main fuel is electricity (tariff unspecified), and there are regular service payments. The property’s modern construction and average thermal performance suggest reasonable running costs, but buyers should check the lease length, service-charge details, and any staircasing options before committing.
Set in peaceful Great Whelnetham with low crime and easy access to local primary and secondary schools, this home will suit buyers prioritising affordability, village life, and straightforward, low-maintenance modern living. Viewings recommended for those seeking an affordable first step in a desirable Suffolk location.
