This brand-new three-bedroom semi-detached home at Great Dunmow Grange offers modern, energy-efficient living with a rear garden and off-street parking. The ground-floor kitchen/diner opens onto the garden, complemented by a separate lounge and a cloakroom; three bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the first floor. At about 1,001 sq ft the home suits couples or first-time buyers seeking a practical family layout in a town-fringe location.
Available through Shared Ownership, a 40% share is priced at £188,000 with an indicative rent of £646.25pcm (full market value £470,000). The long lease (990 years) gives security, but buyers must meet eligibility rules and will pay rent and service charges alongside mortgage payments. Council tax band is yet to be confirmed.
Location is a strength: everyday shops, cafes and supermarkets are close by, with Stansted Airport around five miles away and good road links to the M11/A120. Local state and independent schools rated Good are within easy reach. Note practical negatives: local broadband speeds are very slow, recorded local crime is above average, and the property is leasehold with ongoing rent and service charge commitments.
This home suits first-time buyers or those looking to step on the ladder with lower upfront costs. It offers straightforward, low-maintenance new-build accommodation and reasonable commuting options, but buyers should factor in shared-ownership rules, running costs and limited digital connectivity when deciding to view.
