Final Shared Ownership Homes In Ebbsfleet Unveiled
The final phase of Shared Ownership houses and apartments is now being launched by Clarion Housing Group at Unity Gardens in Ebbsfleet, on the banks for the River Thames in Kent.
Unity Gardens is the only project of its kind, with 100% Shared Ownership available in the sought-after garden city. Previous releases have sold swiftly and with the latest phase, a two-bedroom apartment can be secured with a deposit of just £4,725. In all, there’s a range of one- and two-bedroom apartments as well as two- and three-bedroom houses being offered as part of this final phase and through Shared Ownership, people are able to buy as much of the home as they can afford – starting from as little as 35% and rising up to 75% - whilst paying subsidised rent on the remaining share, with the opportunity to buy a bigger share of the home with time until they own it outright.
Victoria Finch, sales director at Clarion Housing Group, said: “Unity Gardens is a unique opportunity for first-time buyers to purchase affordable housing in such a well-designed space. Ebbsfleet Garden City is not like any other development, it offers an incredibly high standard of living and is home to a plethora of green space, lakes and parks, with enviable connections to central London in 17 minutes and even a direct train service to Paris.”
Perfect for families, the new two- and three-bedroom houses have private gardens, and each has the right to park. Stepping inside, the properties boast spacious, light-filled rooms, with contemporary living areas and relaxing, comfortable bedrooms. Meanwhile, the smart apartments at Unity Gardens feature private balconies or terraces with modern interiors. Bathroom suites, kitchens, luxurious carpets and high-quality fittings in every home offer comfort and style. In the most recently launched phase, Castle Rise, there were Gloss Platinum kitchen units, Woodstone worktops and integrated Zanussi appliances, including a stainless-steel oven, splash back and freestanding fridge/freezer. The hallway cupboard contains a washer/dryer.
Unity Gardens is nestled within the village of Castle Hill in the garden city, which is already home to a Co-op, community center, an outdoor playground and The Spring River, a bright and airy pub and restaurant. Perfect for families, Ebbsfleet Garden City will have its own schools, including nearby Cherry Orchard Primary Academy, which includes a nursery for pre-school children and at secondary level, The Ebbsfleet Academy, which are both already open. So much more is still to come to this exciting new area including a hotel, post office, pharmacy, more shops, cafes, pubs and a health centre in the pipeline.
A fantastic variety of dining and entertainment options can be found in nearby Dartford and Gravesend, while Bluewater shopping centre is just a seven-minute drive away. Extremely well connected, Ebbsfleet International railway station can be reached in a matter of minutes by the award-winning Fastrack bus service or 15 minutes by foot. The station connects residents to central London in 17 minutes via High Speed services and also offers direct Eurostar access to Paris and beyond.
Ebbsfleet has undergone a significant programme of regeneration over the past few years and the garden city is a unique opportunity to own a new home surrounded by nature and thoughtful design. Seven new parks will be spread around the garden city, transforming lakes and quarries into beautiful spots for walking, biking, sailing, kayaking and more. Meanwhile, footpaths and cycle paths will connect every part of the new city together and a new promenade will be opened along the historic waterfront at the River Thames.
Two-bedroom apartments at Unity Gardens start at £94,500 for a 35% share. Find out more at unitygardens.co.uk.
