Summary - 16, Greenbrook Drive, East Rainton DH5 9RL
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Affordable entry with private garden and double driveway for new buyers.
- 50% shared ownership; purchase from £77,500
A practical 50% shared ownership starter home offered at a low entry price of £77,500 for the share. This modern end-link house provides two double bedrooms, an open-plan living/kitchen and a useful ground-floor WC — a sensible layout for first-time buyers looking for low-maintenance living. The enclosed rear garden and double driveway give private outdoor space and off-street parking, rare at this price.
Monthly housing costs include rent, management, insurance and a modest service charge (total example: £249.72 for the 50% share). The long lease (117 years remaining) and EPC B rating support future mortgageability and running-cost efficiency. Broadband is fast and local schools include several highly rated primaries, making the location suitable for young families or those planning to grow.
Important considerations: this is a leasehold shared-ownership property with eligibility checks, income caps and staircasing rules. Pets require written permission and a paid licence. The area is in an ex-mining region — buyers should obtain solicitor confirmation if this matters to them. There is no electric car charger currently installed.
Overall, the home represents a low-cost route onto the ladder with room to increase ownership over time. It will suit buyers prepared to meet shared-ownership eligibility and who value practical, modern accommodation with private parking and garden space.
