3 bed terraced house for sale

Rubens Court, Coxheath, Maidstone ME17

Shared ownership (Advertised price represents 45% share. Full market value £365,000). No Onward Chain. This smartly-presented, gable-fronted property is located in the village of Coxheath to the south of Maidstone. The property has a cloakroom/WC and a sleek, modern kitchen at the front while at the rear is a spacious reception/dining room. Patio doors open onto a neatly-maintained garden which can also be accessed via a side gate. On the first floor of the house is a stylish bathroom, a full-width main bedroom and two more good-sized bedrooms at the rear. The bathroom (with bath and shower) and WC benefit from natural lighting and ventilation by virtue of the property's end-of-terrace position. Well-insulated walls, roof and floor, high performance glazing and gas central heating all contribute towards a very good energy-efficiency rating. The property comes with two forecourt parking spaces and there are also some, shared, visitor spaces. The village centre is only a short walk away and Maidstone town centre is accessible by regular bus routes. Coxheath Primary School, which is just minutes away, is Ofsted-rated 'Good' and there are several other well-thought-of primaries in the surrounding area.

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.
