A modern three-bedroom new-build arranged over two storeys, offered through Shared Ownership so first-time buyers can secure a 50% share from £152,500. The home totals about 901 sqft and comes with two off-street parking bays (one EV charging point) and a private turfed rear garden with patio — practical everyday features for a growing household.
The interior specification includes a contemporary fitted kitchen with integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer, plus an open-plan living/dining room and storage rooms on both floors. The development is energy efficient, with rooftop photovoltaic panels helping reduce running costs. Local amenities include over four acres of green space, a children’s play area, schools rated Good to Outstanding, Ipswich Waterfront and the train station a short drive away.
Shared Ownership reduces the upfront cost: 50% share value £152,500 with a minimum 5% deposit from £7,625. Monthly costs include rent on the unsold 50% (£350pcm) and estate charges (approx. £86.15pcm); council tax band is not yet confirmed. The property is leasehold with around 990 years remaining.
Be aware of material considerations: this is a single-bathroom house, the local area has higher-than-average crime and is classified as very deprived, and internal notes flag potential damp in the living room — an issue that should be inspected. Service charges apply, and Shared Ownership carries eligibility criteria and ongoing rent payments on the retained share.
