This newly built two-bedroom semi-detached house on Bennett Street is aimed squarely at first-time buyers seeking an affordable route onto the ladder. The home offers a contemporary open-plan layout, a fitted kitchen with integrated hob and oven, enclosed rear garden and allocated off-street parking for handy everyday living.

The property is offered on a shared ownership leasehold basis (40–75% purchase options) with a long remaining lease of around 990 years and a modest annual service charge of £386.40. These features make the home more affordable up front, but buyers should be comfortable with paying rent on the unsold share and meeting the service charge.
Be upfront about the local context: the wider area scores as deprived with a high local crime rate and constrained local aspiration indicators. That may affect resale expectations and lifestyle choices. On the positive side the location places shops, schools and transport links — including M1 access and nearby stations — within easy reach, supporting commuting and everyday errands.
Internally the house is move-in ready and low-maintenance as a new build, but the plot and garden are modest in size and the exterior landscaping is simple. For buyers prioritising low initial costs and modern controls, this shared ownership new build is a pragmatic, affordable option; those seeking large gardens, low-crime neighbourhoods or freehold ownership should note the limitations before proceeding.
