This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Alpine Court offers an accessible route onto the property ladder via a 50% shared ownership option. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac, the house benefits from generous side and rear gardens, off-street driveway parking and a practical layout that feels spacious throughout. The kitchen/diner opens to the garden and the ground floor cloakroom adds everyday convenience for families and first-time buyers.
The property is offered as a leasehold shared ownership with a 74-year lease remaining, and a monthly rent of £215 on the unsold share. Mortgage lenders commonly restrict lending on shorter leases, so buyers should confirm mortgageability and factor in service charges, rent and insurance costs before proceeding. There is an option to stair-case to 100% ownership subject to Karbon Homes eligibility and valuation rules.
Internally the home is modern and well-presented with gas central heating, double glazing, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom with underfloor heating. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the location provides easy access to shops, schools and Chester-le-Street station—useful for commuters. Buyers should note the wider area records higher crime and significant deprivation indicators; weigh local services and safety perceptions alongside the property’s practical benefits.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance property aimed at first-time buyers or investors seeking affordable entry. The generous garden space and potential to buy a greater share later add clear upside, but the limited lease length and associated shared-ownership charges are material considerations that may affect mortgage options and long-term value.
