A compact two-bedroom semi-detached home offered as a 50% shared ownership is positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac facing an open play park. The property has a practical layout with a lounge that opens to the rear garden, a kitchen-diner with integrated oven and hob, and gas central heating. Off-road driveway parking for one car and a lawned rear garden with patio add useful outdoor space for a starter household.
This is well-suited to first-time buyers seeking an affordable route into Cambridge close to Cambridge Science Park and Cambridge North station. The home is straightforward and habitable as-is, with double glazing and a functioning boiler. The subdivided second room will be reinstated to a full double bedroom before exchange, restoring the original two-bedroom layout.
Important purchase points are the 50% shared ownership tenure and the remaining lease term of about 95 years. Monthly payments total approximately £199.57 (rent £146.89 plus £52.68 service charge), and the property must be sold at the agreed Housing Association valuation. Council Tax is Band C and running costs are generally affordable.
The house offers scope for modest improvements — kitchen reconfiguration or bathroom modernisation would increase appeal and value — but buyers should factor in the shared-ownership rules and limited lease length when planning longer-term investment or remortgage options.
