Shared Ownership at Spring Acres has enabled the dream of getting onto the property ladder to come true for one happy parent in Kent

Hyde New Homes has helped single parent Leanne Frostick achieve her dream of getting onto the property ladder through shared ownership, which was offered at Spring Acres a beautiful collection of homes in a stunning countryside setting in Kent.

Hard-working mum, Leanne moved into Hyde New Homes’ Spring Acres development in June and she still can’t believe it. “It’s the kind of security and peace of mind I’ve been searching for. I’ve worked so hard to get here and just couldn’t be happier.” Leanne said.

Leanne moved in with her son, Rocco aged 9. Rocco was diagnosed with autism when he was just five. For him, having stability, routine and a little space helps manage his autism. “I wanted to find somewhere that had a more countryside feel so my little boy can really have some space, it’s also close to both a mainstream and Special Educational Needs School which is amazing. “Rocco’s autism is mostly to do with social interactions so giving him some room is essential.” Leanne said.

Spring Acres offers that tranquil sense of space within its range of 2, 3, and 4 bedroom homes. It was a 4 bed Leanne really wanted to go for- with its clever design, beautiful garden and thoughtful extra features like the option for a larger oven- it was the clear choice.

“It really is the stuff of dreams isn’t it? My own 4 bed, with a garden! I actually never thought I’d get the 4 bed. It all seemed too good to be true. “It was boxing day and I saw a marketing email come out from the Hyde New Home team. I clicked on it straight away and there was the stunning Spring Acres development. It was the best Christmas present!

Leanne, who bought her home through shared ownership, said:
“At first I wasn’t sure about shared ownership, but I feel I was taken through everything step by step by the fantastic team at Hyde New Homes and what seemed quite daunting at first was actually quite simple and straightforward. “It’s really worked for me.”

Spring Acres is surrounded by excellent transport connections and good schools- with The Sittingbourne School and Meadowfield, a special education school which has an Outstanding Ofsted rating are both within walking distance. Highsted Grammar School another Outstanding Ofsted rated school is also nearby- adding to the desirability of the area. It’s the ideal choice for professionals, couples, and families alike. Leanne has seen that quality first hand, she said: “I’ve been blown away by the high standard of everything to do with the house. I just know I’m going to be here for many happy years.”
