Award-winning new homes provider Onward Living has launched the second phase of affordable homes at the popular Turnstone Grange development in Somerford, near Congleton.

Seven new homes have been released for sale at the Miller Homes development on Back Lane, where Onward Living has a selection of plots exclusively for Shared Ownership.

All of the newly released homes are the three-bedroom semi-detached Wilde house type, available from £81,000 for a 40% share.

The modern, versatile new-build homes are finished to a superb standard with an excellent specification throughout, featuring contemporary fully-fitted kitchens, a modern family bathroom, a spacious lounge and dining room with French doors that open out onto fully-turfed rear gardens, as well as off-road parking. 

Simon Pickering, sales manager at Onward Living, said: “The first phase of Shared Ownership homes at Turnstone Grange were reserved off-plan very quickly, and we anticipate these new homes will be just as popular.

“With a desirable location – known for its stunning landscapes, excellent transport links and friendly community – combined with real affordability, these homes are an excellent choice for buyers at the start of their homeownership journey.”

The homes are available for Shared Ownership, which allows you to buy a percentage (between 40% and 75%) of your new home and pay rent on the rest. Onward Living owns part of it – but you’re living there, you decorate it, and you decide when to sell.

Buying a percentage means a smaller deposit and a smaller mortgage. A 5% deposit on a 40% share on this development could be as low as £4,050. It’s a sooner first step on the ladder for lots of people. At this development you can also carry on buying shares, to own it 100%.

Located just 1.5 miles from the pretty market town of Congleton, with the breathtaking Peak District National Park within easy reach, Turnstone Grange benefits from a peaceful semi-rural setting.

The development boasts excellent transport to nearby Macclesfield, Crewe, Stoke and further afield to Manchester, as well as easy access to shopping facilities, leisure attractions and well-regarded schools.
