A well-presented three-bedroom semi that suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable foothold in Essex. Offered on a shared ownership basis (currently 73% with 27% retained), the home combines a spacious living room, separate kitchen and a private rear garden with patio and lawn — useful for summer gatherings and everyday outdoor space.
Practicalities are straightforward: two allocated car-port parking spaces, double glazing throughout, mains gas central heating and a new boiler installed February 2025 with a five-year guarantee. There is sensible potential to extend (subject to planning consent and formal approval from the retaining housing provider), which could add value and space if approved.
Buyers must note the material constraints of shared ownership: a monthly rent of £182.81 is payable on the retained share, ownership is restricted to a maximum of 80%, and the property must be the buyer’s only home. Leasehold terms, any service charges and the final lease length should be checked with legal advisers before purchase.
Located in a pleasant rural village setting with good digital connectivity and easy road links to Colchester and beyond, this home offers affordable entry into a sought-after area. The single family bathroom and shared-ownership conditions are the main practical limitations to consider alongside any works needed for personalisation or extension.
