Summary - Marsh Close, Hoddesdon EN11 0FS
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Modern two-bed ground-floor flat — long lease, parking and EV charging; ideal for first-time buyers..
50% shared ownership — option to purchase 100% via housing association
A modern, ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offered 50% via shared ownership — an accessible route for first-time buyers to enter the market. Built in 2020, the home offers open-plan living with integrated kitchen appliances, a private terrace and allocated off-street parking with an EV charging point. The long lease (circa 996 years) and chain-free sale remove common purchase obstacles.
Practical running costs are clear: an annual service charge of about £1,576 (monthly approx. £131.34) and affordable council tax; prospective buyers should confirm any separate rent payable on the remaining share. The layout includes two double bedrooms, good built-in storage and an airy living/kitchen that opens onto the terrace — well suited to first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance, contemporary home or a buy-to-let option.
Be aware of two material points: the property is 50% shared ownership (with an option to buy 100% through the housing association) and there is an ongoing treatment plan for Japanese knotweed on the site. The wider neighbourhood is in a deprived area classification, though local transport links, fast broadband and nearby primary schools rated Good are positives for everyday convenience.
Overall this apartment offers a sensible first-step purchase with strong practical benefits (parking, EV charging, long lease) and predictable costs, provided you investigate the shared-ownership rent and knotweed treatment details before committing.
