This three-bedroom semi-detached new-build on Empire Drive is offered as a 40% shared ownership purchase, priced to make first-time buying more accessible. The home comes with a 10-year NHBC warranty and a long lease (125 years), giving practical protection for a new purchase. Two private off-street parking spaces and a low-maintenance private garden add everyday convenience.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: an entrance hallway, a bright living room, a downstairs WC and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and extractor. French doors lead from the kitchen-diner to a north-facing patio garden — pleasant for cool summer shade but not ideal for strong sunlight. Upstairs provides three bedrooms and a single family bathroom; room sizes are average within the total 916 sq ft.
Location suits buyers wanting affordable access to Chesterfield and the M1, with local schools rated Good and nearby parks and amenities. The development sits in a mixed neighbourhood described as transitional; the immediate local area has a higher proportion of social renters and an average local crime level. Prospective buyers should weigh the lower purchase cost against the shared ownership terms and local area profile.
Important practical notes: this is a leasehold shared ownership sale on a new-build development — staircasing options are available in future but rent and service charges will apply on the unsold share. A sales incentive toward legal costs may be available on selected plots; check specific terms and eligibility. Energy performance and final finishes may vary between plots; buyer checks and reservation-stage paperwork are recommended.
