About
Shared ownership (Advertised price represents 50% share. Theoretical full market value £270,000 but see 'Please Note' below).
This gable-fronted and smartly-presented property forms one end of a four-house terrace in the rural village of Gosfield, which is around four and a half miles northeast of Braintree and only a short bus or bike ride from Halstead town centre.
The front garden is bordered by mature hedge and leads to a small entrance hall which, in turn, provides access to a dual-aspect reception/dining room with open staircase.
At the rear of the property is a good-sized kitchen and up on the first floor there are two full-width double bedrooms and a simple yet stylish and naturally-lit shower room.
The windows are double glazed units throughout and there is gas central heating.
Behind the terrace, and easily accessible via a gate from the neatly-maintained back garden, is a parking area which includes a space allocated to this house plus some, shared, visitor spaces.
Please Note: 'Staircasing' is restricted to a maximum of 80% of the property.

The information in this document supersedes any information given verbally either in person or by telephone. 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. Is shared ownership for you ?

Have a household income that falls below £90,000 (£80,000 threshold outside the M25). Every property will have a minimum income level too, determined by its value, rent and service charge costs.
In most cases you will need to meet or exceed the given minimum income. 3.
Have access to a minimum deposit of 10% of the share being purchased (a minimum deposit of 5% of the share being purchased may be acceptable depending on individual financial status). 4.
