This well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached house is offered on a 25% Shared Ownership basis, priced at £42,500 with the option to buy a larger share subject to affordability. The home provides an accessible entry onto the housing ladder for first-time buyers who want a ready-to-live-in property with scope to increase ownership over time.
Inside, the accommodation is comfortable and practical: two double bedrooms, a modern fitted kitchen, ground-floor cloakroom and a bright lounge with French doors onto a large rear garden. The property benefits from off-street parking, a garage, standard-height ceilings and gas central heating via boiler and radiators, and totals about 785 sq ft. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Important considerations are stated plainly: the property is leasehold (117 years remaining) and offered as shared ownership, so purchasers must qualify for and understand shared ownership terms and staircasing. The local area is classed as a deprived, multi-ethnic suburb with above-average crime levels; buyers should weigh location factors alongside the affordability benefits. There is one family bathroom only, and the home is average-sized rather than spacious.
Nearby schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding primary, plus local amenities and bus links. Overall this is a neat, low-maintenance home that suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry with garden space and parking, provided they are comfortable with shared ownership and local area characteristics.
