SHARED OWERSHIP HOME. 40% share available from £125,000. The current owners are selling their 40% share from £125,000, with the remaining 60% share owned by ReSI Housing.

This beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached house, located in sought after Whetstone, is ideal for anyone looking to take their first steps on the property ladder, or anyone that qualifies to purchase a shared ownership home.

Arriving at the property, you will first take note of its modern, neat and tidy exterior; and to its right-hand side, a driveway providing off-street parking for two cars. Upon accessing the property via its welcoming front door you will enter a hallway, from which the downstairs accommodation flows, firstly into a spacious living room, and then into a large kitchen-diner at the rear.

As well as being of a good size, the dual aspect living room benefits from a lot of natural light and is immaculately decorated in neutral tones suitable for a wide range of furnishings. The kitchen-diner – overlooking the garden and complete with oven, gas hob, built-in fridge-freezer, sink and drainer, ample worktop space and plenty of storage provided by its many attractive kitchen units – is also of a generous size, allowing for a good-sized dining room table also. Off from the kitchen, and completing the downstairs accommodation, is an additional rear hallway giving access to the backdoor and a tastefully decorated downstairs w/c.

Upstairs, which is as well maintained as each room downstairs, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom, located on the front elevation of the property, is particularly well-proportioned, including a large recess that houses well-constructed built-in wardrobes and a large additional storage space above the staircase. To the rear of the property are the further two bedrooms, one an additional double room, and the other perfect for a child’s bedroom or home office. Finally, the family bathroom is fitted to a very good standard to include a basin and bath with overhead shower.

The garden is accessed from either the back door or to the side of the property. It is currently laid mostly to lawn, with a patio immediately behind the property and an additional decked area with adjoining shed to the rear.

This is a perfect home for someone looking to get on the housing ladder and would be suitable for anyone who qualifies for a shared ownership home, whether that be a single person, couple or small family. Avoid missing out on this excellent opportunity by calling us to book a viewing without delay.

The Shared Ownership scheme is a Part Buy, Part Rent way of owning your own home for a smaller upfront payment. With Shared Ownership, you buy a share of your home using a mortgage from a bank or building society and pay a subsidised rent on the share you did not purchase. The combined mortgage and rent is usually less than you’d expect to pay if you bought a similar property outright. The combined service charge and ground rent for this property is £401.
