Since 2016 the number of homes purchased with Shared Ownership has increased from 4,084 to 17,021, and is fast becoming the favoured option over Help to Buy due to the low deposits and flexibility the scheme offers. For eager home hunters keen to find an exclusive Shared Ownership opportunity, St. Arthur Homes is soon to launch a collection of four stylish apartments at Heathbourne Village, in the idyllic Hertfordshire town of Bushey Heath, in partnership with luxury housebuilder Consero. Set within a private gated community, Heathbourne Village provides purchasers with a unique opportunity to secure an impressive new Shared Ownership home with some of England’s most attractive countryside on the doorstep, only an hour from London.

Occupying a prime position just a short walk from the popular town of Bushey Heath, Heathbourne Village comprises a stunning collection of homes that have been carefully crafted to reflect the overall architectural design of the local vernacular, yet are perfectly balanced with beautiful contemporary surroundings. St. Arthur Homes has just four one and two bedroom apartments available to purchase with Shared Ownership. Ideal for first time buyers who are seeking aspirational living, with an affordable price tag, each of the four properties feature a luxurious interior specification that is certain to impress prospective purchasers.

Each property has been designed to provide spacious and versatile layouts, married with comfortable modern interiors. Living, kitchen and dining areas offer a flexible space for eating, relaxing or working. Kitchens come complete with a selection of integrated Siemens appliances including a combination oven with warming drawer and induction hob, integrated wine fridge and compartmentalised recycling storage bins. All bedrooms are finished with carpets and bespoke fitted wardrobes, and bathrooms are finished with a distinctive hotel-style feel and chrome detailing.

Other features include secure entrance gates with number plate recognition, secure parking with potential for electric charging points. Residents are surrounded by a network of wide leafy boulevards, lush mature trees throughout the development. Residents will also have direct access to the surrounding communal gardens via French doors to the ground floor apartments, with a balcony/terrace to the ground-floor homes.

Louise Mills, Sales & Marketing Director for St. Arthur Homes comments: “We are very excited to bring to the market these four beautiful Shared Ownership apartments at Heathbourne Village in partnership with Consero London. This is a truly unique collection of homes that gives first time buyers the chance to purchase a stunning new home that comes with an impressive specification, in an attractive location. At St. Arthur Homes we are passionate about offering inspiring homes that are affordable without the need for buyers to make compromises on specification or location. With only four homes available we expect demand to be high and would urge any prospective purchasers to register their details as soon as possible.”
