3 bedroom terraced house

If You’re Struggling To Get On The Housing Ladder, This Whittlesey Green Shared Ownership Home Could Be The Answer. Surely owning 35% of this stylish Larkfleet Homes 3 bedroom mid-terrace is better than 100% of renting or living with parents.

If you’re desperate to move out from your parents or have had enough of renting, the shared ownership scheme run by Longhirst Group means you can buy an initial 35% stake in this modern home.

You pay rent on the rest (£365.48 per month) and through “Staircasing” you can buy additional shares in your home as funds allow. That way, in time you can end up owning your home outright.

This Larkfleet Homes terrace was great when first built and the current owners really taken care of it in the last three years.

That means you’re getting all the benefits of a new-build, without the annoying niggly little snags. They’ve already been taken care of!

It’s in tip-top decorative order, you could move right in and not even have to lift a paintbrush.

The ground floor is home to the spacious lounge/diner with French doors to the back garden, a modern and well equipped kitchen and a w/c.

The modern kitchen/diner has oodles of storage space. It’s got all the integrated appliances you’d expect and room for a dining table and chairs.

Upstairs has the master bedroom suite, the sophisticated family bathroom and two further bedrooms.

The generous double master bedroom with double built in wardrobes and a stylish en-suite with a walk-in shower.

There’s a further double bedroom and a good size single bedroom. It's currently being used as a home office but it would also make an ideal nursery or kids bedroom.

The back garden isn’t huge but that does mean there’s less mowing required.

The property also has 2 parking spaces.

If you have younger children or are thinking of starting a family, Alderman Jacobs Primary School is closest. It’s less than five minutes to drop them off in the car.

This superb semi is just 25 minutes walk from Whittlesey town centre. Here you’ll find a range of local shops & restaurants, a leisure centre and library.

But if you like your retail therapy on a larger scale, it’s only 25 minutes in the car to Peterborough. Here you'll find all your big name stores and amenities.

Peterborough not big enough for you? You can jump on a train at Peterborough and be stepping onto the Kings Cross platform in around an hour.

Connecting trains from nearby Whittlesea station only take 10 minutes to Peterborough.

This could be the ideal base if you need to commute into London for work or pleasure.

The quiet estate is on the eastern outskirts of Whittlesey. You can be out enjoying some fresh air in the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside in only a few minutes.

This new development is understandably very popular with young families.

With it being so new, there aren’t too many homes coming onto the market yet - and even fewer where shared ownership is available.

If you like the look of the house you’ll need to check that you qualify for the shared ownership scheme.

Don’t panic! It’s quick and easy and can all be done online!

Here’s what Steve, who recently bought a shared ownership home through the provider Longhirst Group, had to say;

“This method gave me an opportunity to move out of my parents’ home sooner, but without either having to have a big salary or big deposit to be able to get the lending or deposit for an outright purchase.”

“Shared Ownership and staircasing helps to bridge that gap between moving out and owning your first home and makes things more achievable more quickly.”

The new owner will carry on the rental agreement for the remaining 65% as detailed within the lease. The current charges total is £365.48 which, includes building insurance. Payment must be made by direct debit. Charges are reviewed annually in April.

Due to the government funding involved in this scheme, any prospective purchaser wishing to be considered for the shared ownership option will be required to submit an application form to us for assessment. Part of that assessment will be to supply evidence from a mortgage lender, i.e. a mortgage in principle of the maximum amount they can borrow, to show that they cannot afford to buy outright on the open market in the area. For your information, the property cannot be sold as shared ownership to a current homeowner or for investment purposes.

• Please be advised that it is within the Homes England guidance to maximise all shares. We are required to maximise shares purchased based on a potential buyers’ affordability and individual circumstances ie: additional staircasing may be required in addition to the share being advertised.

If you like the sound of this and think you may qualify, call or complete the enquiry form for more information on the scheme and to arrange a viewing.
