32 Haw Croft, Cononley, BD20 8FB

PRICE BASED ON 30% SHARED OWNERSHIP SCHEME - A rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a stylish three bedroom semi-detached house offered via a thoughtfully structured Shared Ownership Affordable Housing Scheme and forming part of this extremely successful development close to the centre of the picturesque Aire Valley village of Cononley.

The scheme is administered by Jigsaw Homes and offers the option of purchasing an initial share of between 25% and 75% of the open market value (£345,000) whilst paying a low monthly rent for the remaining equity share. Further shares can be purchased at a later date if desired up to a maximum of 80% of the open market value. The scheme is available to those parties that meet the qualifying criteria, including first time and second time buyers with a proven need for affordable housing. A Local Occupancy criteria also applies. Further information is available below*

The Shared Ownership model represents an ideal opportunity for those meeting the criteria to purchase a superior modern built home despite having a smaller initial deposit.

Expertly constructed by a well respected local building firm, Haw Croft is pleasantly located close to the centre of the village only a few minutes walk from the nearby railway station with regular direct services to Skipton, Leeds, Keighley, Bingley, Shipley and Bradford. The contemporary residence comprises very briefly:

An entrance hall. Downstairs WC. Living room with attractive stone fireplace. Contemporary dining kitchen having French doors leading out to the enclosed rear garden. Upstairs there are three well planned bedrooms. The primary bedroom is accompanied by an en-suite shower room. Landing and House bathroom including a three piece white suite. Outside there is generous private driveway parking at the front elevation. The rear garden offers a very pleasant sitting out space with established lawn and a stone flagged patio.

The increasingly fashionable commuter village of Cononley, offering all the benefits of a traditional semi-rural village community whilst being positioned directly on the train route to Leeds and Bradford and with Skipton and its wide range of shops and other amenities also being only a short eight minute rail journey away.

This traditional Yorkshire village is surrounded by stunning open countryside and farmland and enjoys a very active village community, having a regular programme of local events including an annual gala, scarecrow festival, beer festival, and duck race. The village offers a good range of local amenities including a well respected primary school and nursery, a village hall and two public houses. The business centres of West Yorkshire and East Lancashire are within comfortable daily commuting distance by car.

TENURE
The property is subject to a leasehold agreement via Jigsaw Homes and buyers are required to pay a rent for the remaining equity share. The rent is paid monthly and is 3.01% of the unsold equity. For example based on a 30% share purchase £345,000 x 70% (unsold equity) x 3.01% (rent charge) divided by twelve months = £605.76. If a higher initial share is purchased the rent would be reduced accordingly for example based on a 75% share purchase £345,000 x 25% (unsold equity) x 3.01% (rent charge) divided by twelve months = £216.34.

Please contact Harrison Boothman estate agents should you wish to discuss any alternative equity share purchase amount. Further equity shares are available for purchase initially or at a later date subject to obtaining an independent R.I.C.S. valuation at the prospective purchasers expense. In any event, the purchaser is responsible for 100% of any property repairs/maintenance or any other costs associated with normal home ownership (council tax, utilities bills etc). In addition, there is a monthly service charge payable of £ TBC which includes buildings insurance and a management fee.
