House-hunters on a budget looking for their first home now have an opportunity to enter the market with Shared Ownership, with the release of three houses on the government-backed scheme at The Lane, a development from Stonewater Homes.
There are two- and three- bedroom homes available, with prices starting at £88,000 for a 40% share (based on a full market price £220,000).

Each property come with a private back garden with a patio and parking provision.

“We are really excited to be releasing these new homes at The Lane which are within easy driving distance to St Neots and Bedford towns with their shopping and business facilities. Wyboston village is also close to a main line station at nearby St Neots and the A1 Great North Road and the M1.”
