3 bed terraced house for sale

Blossom Cottages, Lowen Road, Rainham RM13

Shared ownership (Advertised price represents 50% share. Full market value £430,000). A great chance to buy a shared-ownership family home. This recently-constructed, mid-terrace property provides more than a thousand square feet of accommodation and has built-in storage/utility cupboards plus a cloakroom/WC just off the entrance hall. The remainder of the ground floor is devoted to a full-length (thirty-three-foot), semi-open-plan kitchen/dining/reception room. Patio doors lead out to a south/south-east-facing rear garden. Upstairs, on the first floor of the house, there is a main bedroom with en-suite shower room, a good-sized second double bedroom, a smaller third bedroom and a sleek, modern bathroom. Well insulated walls, roof and floor, high performance glazing and a communal heating/hot water system all contribute towards a very good energy-efficiency rating. The property comes with an off-street parking space, easily accessible via the garden gate, and the A13 offers a direct route into central London or out to the M25. Rainham town centre or railway station can also be easily reached by bus or bike. Newtons Primary School, which is just moments away, is Ofsted-rated 'Good' and nearby Beam Parklands Country Park provides many acres of outside space to explore.

What is shared ownership ?

Shared Ownership is a housing scheme designed to help homebuyers who are unable to afford the cost of buying a property outright on the open market. Properties may be sold off-plan or new build direct from housing associations, or pre-owned from existing shared owners. The rules and terms of the scheme are set by the Greater London Authority (gla) in London and Homes England outside of London.
