Steven & Ann’s story

When Steven and Ann Clark decided it was time to buy a new home, their dream was clear—a new build in a rural setting that matched their lifestyle and aspirations. After exploring several developments, they discovered The Pastures in Lower Stondon, a picturesque community nestled in the Bedfordshire countryside.

The appeal of Shared Ownership

With their existing home on the market, the Clarks came across The Pastures as they familiarised themselves with the area. Already knowledgeable about the Shared Ownership scheme through their professional lives, they saw it as a perfect fit for their situation.

“We knew quite a bit about Shared Ownership and how it works,” Steven explained. “It’s an affordable way to get on the property ladder and make a house truly feel like home.”

Top quality homes in a stunning location

What sealed the deal for the Clarks was the quality of the homes at The Pastures and the idyllic rural location. “The build quality is excellent, and the countryside setting is exactly what we were looking for,” Ann shared.

The Pastures offers thoughtfully designed homes with spacious layouts, private gardens, and energy-efficient features. Located next to fields and the village recreation ground, the development offers the perfect blend of tranquillity and connectivity. With towns like Hitchin and Letchworth just a short drive away, residents enjoy a balance between rural charm and urban convenience.

An informed and supportive process

The Clarks were equally impressed by the sales process. “Everyone we dealt with was informative and helpful,” said Steven. “We had the chance to view several house styles, which made choosing the right one much easier.”

Their advice to others considering buying a home? “Do your research. While some people are hesitant, we’ve found Shared Ownership to be the perfect fit for us.”

Looking forward to life at The Pastures

Now settled into their new home, Steven and Ann are enjoying life at The Pastures. Surrounded by nature, community amenities, and excellent transport links, they’ve found their ideal home and are excited about their future.
