Kestrel Road, Attleborough NR17

Shared ownership (Advertised price represents 40% share. Full market value £235,000). This recently-constructed, semi-detached property has a cloakroom/WC off the entrance hall with most of the remainder of the ground floor devoted to a full-length (approximately twenty nine foot) kitchen/reception room with attractive flooring and open staircase. Patio doors lead out to a south-west-facing rear garden that can also be accessed via the side gate. On the first floor of the house is a main bedroom with fitted, mirror-fronted wardrobe plus a second, similar-sized, double bedroom and a stylish, naturally-lit bathroom large enough to include a separate shower cubicle. Well insulated walls, roof and floor combined with high performance glazing make for a very good energy-efficiency rating. Heating and hot water is provided by an air-source heat pump. Kestrel Road is just off the Norwich Road (B1077) and the city centre is around fifteen miles to the north-east. Attleborough town centre is to the south-west and within comfortable walking distance, or a brief bus/bike ride. The property comes with two forecourt parking spaces and is held on a very long lease with the freehold transferrable at 100% ownership.

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.
