Owning your first home is one of life’s most exciting milestones – and with Shared Ownership specialist Snugg Homes, it’s more achievable than you might think.
For many first time buyers, Shared Ownership offers a smart, affordable route into homeownership. It allows you to purchase a share of your home (usually between 10% and 75% of its value) while paying rent on the remainder.
Over time, you can even choose to increase your share in a process known as staircasing, meaning eventually you can own your home outright.
The Shared Ownership scheme is the perfect option for those aged 18 and over with a household income of less than £80,000, providing you meet the eligibility criteria and do not currently own another home (or your home is being sold).
So, whether you’re looking for a home to raise a growing family or searching for that perfect place to burrow into, Snugg Homes has a range of Shared Ownership properties to suit your every need.
Settle Down in Stoke-on-Trent
Tucked beside a tranquil stretch of the Trent and Mersey Canal sits Waterside; a striking development from Snugg Homes in the peaceful Stoke suburb of Trentham.
The Moresby and Ellerton house types are both beautifully designed three bedroom homes that each offer bright open-plan living spaces with thoughtful details throughout.
Whether it’s the French doors that flood in light from the landscaped garden, the contemporary en suite in the main bedroom, or the off-road parking and extra storage space, these homes are ideal for modern family life.
You won’t be hard-pressed to find things to do in Trentham as Waterside is just a five-minute drive to Trentham Estate – 725 acres of award-winning gardens, a unique outdoor shopping village, a garden centre and even a monkey forest (yes, really).
Alongside the convenient supermarkets and local amenities in Trentham, residents can enjoy the extensive range of high street shops, lively bars and tasty restaurants in Stoke-on-Trent, which is just four miles away.
This development is also close to the A50 with links to the M6 and M1, ensuring easy access to both Manchester and Birmingham, and providing convenient connections throughout the North West and to the South.
The Best of Both Worlds in Cheshire
Stonecross Vale is Snugg Homes’ latest modern development in Winsford, Cheshire, that offers generous living spaces in a location that combines countryside charm with city-side convenience.
The Type D is a contemporary collection of three bedroom homes that ensures ample space for a budding family. Each features a large lounge/diner with a separate kitchen kitted out with integrated appliances for your every need.
These homes also benefit from the convenience of a downstairs WC, a stylish three-piece bathroom suite, a spacious garden and off-road parking. Situated in the heart of Cheshire, Winsford is ideally located to discover the region’s remarkable countryside with a multitude of cycle tracks and hiking routes that criss-cross the surrounding area.
Walkers have Whitegate Way, the River Weaver and the spectacular Delamere Forest to explore. Covering an area of 972 hectares, Delamere Forest is Cheshire’s largest area of woodland and ensures a tranquil space to connect with nature.
Winsford is also ideal for those who are looking for a home with excellent public transport links. There are several bus routes with regular services to Chester and the nearby Winsford railway station has a direct connection to Crewe station, a major junction on the West Coast Main Line that serves as a rail gateway for the North.
