Launch Of Shared Ownership Homes In Norfolk
Latimer, the development arm of provider Clarion Housing Group, has released the first homes at The Gables in Attleborough, now available through Shared Ownership.
The collection of two-, three- and four-bedroom houses and coach houses can now be secured on a ‘part buy-part rent’ basis by qualifying purchasers and come in a locally-inspired exterior design complemented by a thoroughly modern interior layout and specification.
The homes themselves and the development as a whole have energy efficiency and sustainability in mind. All properties are completely ‘gas free’, with air-source heat pumps installed to power the appliances, which could reduce residents’ carbon footprint and energy costs. High levels of insulation and heat-saving glazing keep homes warm as well as cheaper to run. Cycle and pedestrian routes meander through this scenic development, and there’s lots of pond and green space too, including play areas to encourage children to enjoy time outdoors.
Now available with Shared Ownership are two-bedroom coach houses which cost £86,000 for a 40% share (based on a full market value of £215,000), meaning buyers need a deposit of just £4,400. They have open-plan kitchen and living spaces, a double bedroom with en suite, a single second bedroom, a bathroom and plentiful storage. Fixtures and fittings include soft-close cupboards, integrated appliances, Amtico flooring in kitchens to bathrooms with porcelain floor tiles, full-height tiling around the bath, contemporary white sanitaryware, a mix of pendant lights and downlights creating ambiance in every room, and underfloor heating.
In the future, Latimer will be unveiling further two-, three- and four-bedroom homes in this peaceful location in the market town, stuated just a few miles south-west of Norwich.
Hannah Smart, acting sales director at Latimer, commented: “The quality of the homes at The Gables is exceptional. They highlight the fact that Shared Ownership doesn’t mean making compromises when you buy with Latimer. The care that has gone into creating them really shines through in every detail. We are delighted to be making such superb houses available to first-time buyers who are keen to get onto that all-important first rung of the property ladder.”
The Gables is in within easy walking distance of the town centre into Attleborough, where historic buildings surround the central green. The town has shops, restaurants, cafés and services needed for everyday life, plus a weekly market and fortnightly Makers’ Market offering artisan foods and crafts. There are ‘Good’ Ofsted-rated schools in the area too.
For lovers of the outdoors, there’s surrounding open countryside, the rich greenery of Thetford Forest and the entire coastline can also be reached in around an hour by car.
Attleborough is also well located for city life, with Norwich and Cambridge reachable by train in 21 and 57 minutes respectively (Attleborough station is just a mile from The Gables). Drivers, meanwhile, can use the A11 to reach Norwich or head in the opposite direction until they reach the M11 for travel to Stansted Airport and London.
Through Shared Ownership, prices for a three-bedroom house at The Gables start from £109,000 for a 40% share with a full market value of £272,500. There is one four-bedroom house available for £124,250 for a 35% share with a full market value of £355,000. Find out more at www.latimerhomes.com
