Affordable shared-ownership starter with modern interior and garage gym.
50% shared ownership with 114 years remaining on the lease
This extended three-bedroom semi offers modernised, flexible living on a 50% shared ownership basis, suited to first-time buyers seeking affordability and space. The ground floor features a large open-plan reception with a contemporary fitted kitchen and island, plus a separate utility room and internal garage access. The garage has been adapted to include a home gym and storage rooms, adding practical options for hobbies or extra storage.
The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas heating, driveway parking for multiple vehicles and a private low-maintenance rear garden with artificial turf. EPC rating C and council tax band B help keep running costs lower than average. The 114-year lease provides long-term security for shared owners, with a monthly rent and service charge around £300.
Buyers should note material considerations: the home sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate, which may affect resale and insurance costs. The building is older solid-brick construction and may lack cavity wall insulation, and some heating relies on room heaters, so future energy improvements could be desirable. The tenure is leasehold with the property offered as shared ownership (50%).
Overall, this home offers contemporary living, good internal space for a property of about 937 sq ft, and an affordable route onto the housing ladder. It will suit buyers prioritising value, convenience and flexible internal layout, while those seeking a quieter or higher-value neighbourhood should weigh the local area indicators carefully.
