The price advertised is a 54% Share of the full market value, Monthly rent of £216.02 

Welcome to this charming two-bedroom semi-detached home, available to purchase through a 54% shared ownership scheme, exclusively for local applicants with a meaningful connection to the picturesque village of Gravenhurst.

The property offers well-proportioned accommodation throughout, starting with a spacious entrance hall with useful storage. To the ground floor is a generous kitchen/diner, providing plenty of space for everyday family life and entertaining, along with a well-sized living room. Patio doors open directly onto the garden, creating a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

One of the standout features of this home is the south-facing rear garden, which enjoys wonderful views across the surrounding Bedfordshire countryside. The southerly aspect also allows the property to benefit from plenty of natural light, creating a bright and welcoming feel throughout the day.

Upstairs are two spacious double bedrooms, both offering good proportions and flexibility, together with a well-appointed family bathroom.

The property is particularly well suited to first-time buyers, young families or those looking to take their first step onto the property ladder through shared ownership.

The village has a friendly community feel and traditional character, making it an appealing place to settle and enjoy a quieter pace of life. With country lanes and footpaths on the doorstep, there are plenty of opportunities to get outdoors and enjoy the surrounding countryside.

Despite its rural setting, Bedford, Biggleswade, Shefford and Hitchin are all within easy reach, making the location practical for commuting, shopping and everyday amenities.

For families, Gravenhurst is particularly appealing, with Gravenhurst Academy right in the village. The small village school caters for children from Reception through to Year 4 and was rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2024. There are also a number of schools in the surrounding villages and towns, providing further options as children get older.

For those looking for peace, space and a strong village atmosphere without being too far from town, Gravenhurst is a lovely place to call home.

**ELIGIBILITY

This property is an Affordable Shared Ownership Home subject to Government criteria for eligibility to buy. These can be found on the website

You can buy a home through shared ownership if your household earns £80,000 a year or less (or £90,000 a year or less in London) and any of the following apply:

you’re a first-time buyer
you used to own a home, but cannot afford to buy one now
you’re an existing shared owner
This home was built as affordable housing and has restrictions on sale imposed by the Council when planning permission was granted. Applicants must not be able to afford to buy a home on the open market and must have sufficient income to repay any mortgage and pay the rent charged for the share of equity retained by Rural Housing Trust Limited. There may also be a requirement for the owner to have a connection to the local area (see below for further information).

Please be aware that many of our shared ownership homes have been built in partnership with District and Parish Councils for the specific purpose of helping people who wish to live in a parish where they have a close connection but cannot afford to buy a home on the open market. The Local Planning Authority placed restrictions on the property through a legal agreement when planning permission was granted for the development.

The restrictions on sale are for a period of three months from the date an estate agent begins to market the property. Although planning agreements can vary, the term Close Connection usually means one or more of the following:

currently living in the parish (sometimes for a period of years)
previous residence in the parish (sometimes for a period of years)
close relatives currently live in the parish of Gravenhurst 
current permanent employment based in the parish of Gravenhurst
about to take up permanent employment in the parish of Gravenhurst
