Finding the right home can feel like a challenge, especially if buying a home seems out of reach. For many first time buyers, schemes such as Shared Ownership and Rent to Buy can make homeownership possible but can be high in demand with limited homes available
Vico Homes’ St Mary’s Field development with Taylor Wimpey changes all this. With 77 homes – that’s 40% of the total development – available through Shared Ownership or Rent to Buy, there’s more choice and opportunity than ever.
From the historic streets of Beverley to the rolling landscapes of Penistone and the vibrant communities of Wakefield, Vico Homes offers beautifully designed new build homes with Shared Ownership and Rent to Buy so first time buyers can take that all-important first step on to the property ladder.
Built for first time buyers
St Mary’s Field sits at the heart of the vibrant Rawmarsh community in South Yorkshire, where Vico Homes has partnered with Taylor Wimpey to create a high-quality new development for Rotherham. With 40% of the homes available through Shared Ownership and Rent to Buy, the scheme opens the door for first time buyers who might otherwise struggle to secure their spot on the property ladder and gives them the time and space to choose what feels just right.
Across the development, 77 homes are offered through these affordable pathways, a commitment that has earned St Mary’s Field a place on the shortlist for Best Partnership in the First Time Buyer Readers’ Awards. It’s recognition that reflects how the project blends thoughtful design with genuine opportunity for first time buyers.
And it’s easy to see why the judges took notice. Families benefit from a choice of well-regarded schools close by, while everyday essentials are covered with supermarkets, shops and eateries just minutes away. For downtime, Clifton Park provides green space and family activities and Parkgate Shopping Centre is only a 10 minute drive and offers plenty of
retail options.
St Mary’s Field isn’t just another development; it’s a community minded neighbourhood that brings quality homes and real affordability together in one place.
Style and quality that’s affordable
Designed to help buyers imagine life at St Mary’s Field, the show home reflects how first time buyers could use the space. More than a beautifully finished interior, it shows that homeownership can be both stylish and genuinely affordable, which is why it has been named a finalist in the Best Show Home category at the First Time Buyer Readers’ Awards.
Created with a first time buyer-friendly budget in mind, the show home combines familiar high-street furniture, multi-functional spaces and practical design choices for modern living. From flexible family areas and home working space to energy-efficient features that can help reduce running costs, every detail has been chosen to prove that affordability doesn’t mean compromise. The result is a home that buyers can instantly picture themselves in and see the long-term value.
The blueprint for something bigger
Delivering this 100% affordable development has become the blueprint for similar developments across Yorkshire, to give first time buyers more opportunity to afford the home they dream of.
Vico Homes is quietly reshaping the landscape of modern Yorkshire living. Whether it’s Beverley, Penistone or Leeds, Vico Homes is stitching together communities that balance craftsmanship, character and contemporary comfort. Each development feels intentionally placed, with a range of house types to choose from with family-focused homes, those for first time buyers or those looking to downsize.
All homes have the unmistakable commitment to quality with thoughtful layouts and energy-efficient design giving these neighbourhoods a chance to grow into vibrant communities.
