Brand new view home unveiled at Wolvey Shared Ownership development

The Ivy home style was launched with an open event last month (Friday, August 23) with browsers treated to a tour of the two-bedroom home and the friendly sales team being on hand to advise about Shared Ownership, specification and the finer details of a home purchase.

Situated just off Leicester Road, within walking distance of the quaint village, the Kingmakers View development comprises a charming collection of two- and three-bedroom homes, built with the modern homebuyer in mind.

The Ivy, a two-bedroom, semi-detached home, is in a superb location for commuters, young families, first time buyers, downsizers, and many other types of home seeker, with a large living/dining space, and modern fitted kitchen providing the perfect space for relaxing, entertaining guests and all of the challenges that modern life brings.

Upstairs houses two large bedrooms, one with extra space for storage, and a stylish family bathroom all spanning from the large central hallway.

Shared Ownership allows buyers to purchase a share of their home and pay rent on the remaining amount, typically buying between 10% and 75% of the property’s full market value, depending on the model purchased with.

This lowers the amount needed for a deposit, with most deposits on shared ownership schemes between 5% and 10% of the share and not the full amount.

Platform has seen an increase in popularity in the Shared Ownership scheme. In fact, the start of 2024 has seen a 152% sale increase when comparing to last year, owing to the increase in popularity of the scheme in a time of economic uncertainty.

The Ivy is fully-fitted with central heating and double-glazed windows, while there is allocated space parking on the driveway and a 10-year build warranty, all of which comes as standard with all Platform Home Ownership properties.

Wolvey can be dated back to Saxon and Norman times and there are numerous historic buildings throughout the village, such as the chapel. Kingmakers View is just across the picturesque river Anker from the heart of the village. Wolvey village has many amenities including a village shop, local pubs, and within a six-mile drive, a good section of supermarkets.

Under a mile away from Kingmakers View, Wolvey C of E Primary School can be found, which has a ‘good’ OFSTED rating. For secondary school-aged children, there are multiple schools within a five-mile radius of the development, all rated ‘good’ by OFTSED.

Ideally located between Coventry and Leicester, Kingmakers View is perfectly placed for commuters with the M69 just three miles away, linking to the M6 and M1 making the West Midlands, London and the north easily accessible. The Nuneaton Train Station is just under five miles away, with Birmingham Airport slightly further afield.

Chloe Finnegan, Marketing Coordinator for Platform, said: “We’re delighted to finally be lifting the lid on this beautiful view home, which is in an ideal location for a number of home buyers.

“It’s important to us that we contribute towards the increased demand for affordable routes onto the property ladder in rural areas, so to have so many Shared Ownership homes available including the Ivy is rewarding.

“It was great to welcome so many guests to our launch event last week and with interest so high in the properties at Kingmakers View, I’d urge those looking for a Warwickshire home to get in touch with our friendly sales team to avoid missing out.”

Prices start from £102,000 for a Shared Ownership home.*
