A bright two-bedroom semi in Hethersett offered via shared ownership — a sensible step onto the property ladder without needing full market capital. The home has an open-plan kitchen flowing into the lounge, a ground-floor WC, allocated off-street parking and a private garden, all set in a quiet town-fringe location with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The advertised price reflects a 40% share (£110,000) of a full market value of £275,000; shares can be bought between 10% and 75%. Monthly costs include an affordable rent on the unsold share (approx. £378 pcm for 40%) and a modest service charge (£61.41 pcm). The lease is long (990 years), removing usual short-lease concerns.
This property will suit first-time buyers seeking a low-entry-cost, low-maintenance home close to local schools, including two outstanding-rated nearby primaries and an outstanding secondary. The house is contemporary in style with modern kitchen fittings and solar panels visible on the roof, so running costs are likely competitive.
Buyers should note this is a shared-ownership leasehold transaction: ongoing rent and service charges apply and staircasing to increase the share will change monthly costs. The area is affluent and generally low risk for flooding, but local school ratings are mixed and crime is average. Overall, it’s a practical, well-located starter home with straightforward potential to increase ownership over time.
