Low-maintenance one-bedroom home with west-facing garden near park and shops.
70% shared ownership for over-55s
A ground-floor one-bedroom bungalow offered on a 70% shared ownership basis for the over-55s. The home sits in a tucked-away cul-de-sac close to Melton Country Park and the town centre, with a west-facing rear garden backing onto allotments — ideal for low-maintenance outdoor space and afternoon sun.
The layout is practical: a dual-aspect lounge/dining room, re-fitted kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances, double bedroom and a walk-in shower/wet room. Gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and an emergency room-to-room alarm system provide comfort and safety; EPC rated C. Allocated and visitors’ parking add convenience.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold (70% shared ownership) with around 74 years remaining and an average service charge of about £1,645.20 per year. Mortgage lenders can be reluctant to lend on shorter leases, so purchasers should obtain mortgage advice early and confirm lease and charge details with their solicitor. The area records higher crime and relative deprivation compared with national averages — factor this into any decisions.
