Final chance to secure affordable home in Desborough as last homes remain at The Grange
A limited number of Shared Ownership properties remain at a five-star development that has boosted Desborough’s affordable housing supply, after the final release of homes at this phase.
Platform Home Ownership has partnered with five-star housebuilder Bellway Homes to widen opportunities for those in the town to get onto the property ladder, delivering 56 homes through the affordable scheme.
The final release of homes signifies the closing stages of The Grange, which has surpassed the 80% stage of reservations, and where homes can be secured without the need for a large deposit.
Many first-time buyers, commuters, downsizers, young professionals and families have secured their homes at a percentage between 10 and 75%, paying a mortgage on that share and rent on the remainder, with limited two-bedroom and three-bedroom styles yet to be snapped up.
For example, homes at The Grange are available from £100,000 for a 40% share, meaning a deposit could be placed from £5,000 to secure a home in this emerging Northamptonshire destination.
Through Staircasing, each new occupant can increase their owned share, all the way to full ownership, reducing rental payments along the way, at a pace that suits them.
Home styles still available include the two-bedroom Baker and the three-bedroom Tillman, both offered in semi-detached configurations.
The Baker is home to an open plan ground floor, with a large living-dining space to the rear and integrated kitchen at the front, both benefitting from plenty of natural light and space for storage. Upstairs, two bedrooms of similar size are separated by a spacious landing and stylish family bathroom.
The Tillman’s ground floor is of the same layout but to a larger specification with space in the lounge-diner for a kitchen table and seating areas, while upstairs includes three bigger bedrooms as well as extra space for storage.
Rada Knezevic, Sales Consultant at Platform Home Ownership, said: “The Grange has been incredibly popular, with a diverse range of buyers putting down roots in this desirable location.
“In partnering with Bellway Homes, we understand the care, precision, quality and attention that goes into making a house a home, and are safe in the knowledge that our buyers are settling down in a space expertly designed and built to last.
“With only a limited number of homes now remaining, I’d recommend anybody interested to get in touch right away to avoid missing out.”
The Grange sits nearby to the major A6 and A14 roads that connect rural Northamptonshire to the Midlands, East Anglia and the south-east, with Market Harborough and Kettering both around 10 minutes away, providing access to larger destinations thanks to London and East Midlands railway lines.
The new homes are serviced by the nearby Havelock Infant and Havelock Junior School, which scored Outstanding and Good respectively on their most recent Ofsted reports.
Information on further phases and releases at The Grange will be announced next year.
