A bright, contemporary two-bedroom home on the popular St Johns Grange development, offered through a Discounted Market Scheme. The Rochester design delivers a modern fitted kitchen, spacious living/dining room with garden access, and a practical downstairs WC — ready to move into as a brand-new home. Solar panels reduce running costs and an allocated driveway provides off-street parking for convenience.
This property is targeted at buyers eligible for the 20% discounted purchase price; shared ownership applies and the annual service charge is £236. The footprint is compact (approximately 317 sq ft) so the layout suits first-time buyers, downsizers, or those seeking a low-maintenance starter home rather than a large family residence. Broadband speeds are reported as fast, and local schools and amenities are within easy reach on London Road.
Buyers should note eligibility rules for the Discounted Market Scheme: several local connection and income criteria must be met. The area is described as very affluent overall, but crime is above average locally — consider this when assessing security and insurance. The home is newly built/renovated and presents limited immediate maintenance, but its small internal size and modest garden mean restricted expansion potential.
Overall, this is a cost-effective entry into Lichfield’s popular suburbia: contemporary finishes, solar panels and allocated parking balance the modest square footage and eligibility constraints. It’s particularly well suited to qualifying first-time buyers seeking a low-upkeep, modern starter home with predictable ongoing charges.
