Shared ownership with leading developer Hyde New Homes, is giving home seekers the opportunity to live in an exciting new collection of homes in Spring Acres, in the heart of Bapchild, near Sittingbourne in Kent.

Newly launched, the stunning development, which already has a growing community, has a selection of superbly designed two, three and four bedroom houses. Each boasts a high specification as standard including contemporary kitchen units with integrated appliances, quality flooring throughout, turfed gardens and parking. An array of different homes are available and can be tailored to various lifestyles; catering to first time buyers, professionals and growing families.

Shared ownership is a government backed scheme for people who may be unable to buy the home they wish to own on the open market. You can buy the share of your home which is affordable at the time with a smaller deposit and pay a subsidised rent to Hyde on the remaining share.

In the future, the homeowner will then be able to purchase additional shares until they own their home outright, or sell and move on at any time.

Spring Acres, nestled within a country park setting, is a peaceful and picturesque environment for residents to enjoy. Offering natural open spaces and children’s play areas, a rich wildlife site, with its array of birds, reptiles and mammals including badgers and hedgehogs thrive. Families will also benefit from the excellent array of schools in the vicinity.
