Coming soon: New shared ownership bungalows in Chellaston

A fantastic opportunity to own a share in a brand‑new, energy‑efficient bungalow is coming to Henshall Drive, Chellaston.

Work is now underway on a high-quality development of eight sustainable bungalows, delivered in partnership with Scope Construction. Designed to meet local housing needs, four of these homes will be available through shared ownership – offering an affordable way to get onto the property ladder, part buy and part rent.

Modern, accessible and affordable living

Each bungalow has been thoughtfully designed to a high standard and built to M4(2) accessibility regulations, making them ideal for comfortable, future‑proof living. The development blends sensitively with the surrounding community while bringing a brownfield site back into positive use.

Built for a greener future

These homes place sustainability at their heart:

• EPC A rated
• Completely gas‑free
• Air‑source heat pumps
• PV solar panels
• EV charging points
• High levels of insulation throughout
• Argon‑filled windows to keep warmth in and energy costs down

The result? Reduced carbon emissions and homes that meet modern environmental standards.

What is shared ownership?

Shared ownership is another way to buy your own home. You buy a percentage, and pay rent on the rest. The housing association 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 smaller mortgage. It's a sooner first step on the ladder for lots of people. Usually, you can also carry on buying shares, to own it 100%.

The properties are sold on a 990 year shared ownership lease.

Who qualifies?

Anyone who does not currently own or part own a property and has a household income of less than £80,000 per year can apply.

How to apply

You will be required to complete an application form when we start advertising the homes for sale.

Your affordability will be assessed based on the information you provide on the application form. We'll make an offer based on the amount you can afford, between 10 - 75%. If your application is successful a non-refundable reservation fee of £350 is required to reserve your new home, this amount goes towards your deposit on completion.
