Kestrel Drive, Higham Ferrers

Struggling To Afford Your First Home? Here’s how you can enjoy all the security of home ownership for half the price. This modern Miller Homes end terrace lets you buy 50% but you still get 100% of the keys, the private garden and the peace of mind.

Here’s how it works: with shared ownership, you buy 50% of the home for £135,000 and pay rent on the other half. That means you only need to save for half the usual deposit and only need to pass affordability checks for a £135k mortgage rather than £270k.

But you still get the full experience and security of home ownership - from putting your own key in the door to enjoying your garden and parking space - without having to afford the full price tag.

Inside, you’ll find a bright, well-designed space that works perfectly for first-time buyers, young families or couples ready to take that first step onto the ladder.

There’s a lounge at the front for cosy nights in, and a light-filled kitchen-diner at the back with plenty of cupboard space and room for your white goods.

Pop out through the rear hall to the garden - fully enclosed with side gate access, a mix of lawn, patio and decking, and three distinct spots for sitting out.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a third single that’s perfect for a nursery, home office or dressing room. The family bathroom has an electric shower, and there’s a handy downstairs w/c too.

There’s storage under the stairs, plus a partially boarded loft for all those bits you don’t need every day. Solar panels help keep the bills down and the whole place has been tastefully and neutrally decorated.

Outside, there’s off-street parking for two cars - one in front of the other - so you won’t be circling the block every night.

This modern, three-bedroom end terrace is perfectly situated for you to make the most of your free time.

Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or a shopping aficionado, you've got the best of both worlds.

Stanwick Lakes, a haven for families, walkers, and nature lovers is just a 5 minute drive away.

And if retail therapy is more your style, Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre is around the same distance away. There’s a fabulous choice of big name stores from Primark to Flannels, including M&S and Waitrose.

Commuting to London? Wellingborough station will get you to St Pancras in under an hour. Plus, with the A45, A6 and M1 all within easy reach, you’re well connected for weekend escapes.

The shared ownership scheme through Amplius housing association means you’ll arrange a mortgage for 50% and pay rent of £330.39 per month on the other half.

Your service charge, management fee and insurance add up to around £42 per month, and there’s a 99-year lease with around 90 years still remaining.

If you’re a first-time buyer, this could be the smartest, most affordable way to start your homeowning journey.

There are qualifying criteria - for example you’ll need to be first-time buyers who haven't previously owned a property.

In addition to being a first-time buyer, you'll need to meet specific income criteria and the property must be your main residence (not a buy-to-let investment).
