THIS AWARD WILL BE LOOKING TO RECOGNISE A DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN BUILT/COMPLETED BUT OFFERS GREAT POTENTIAL TO FIRST TIME BUYERS. BEST OFF-PLAN DEVELOPMENT
HYDE NEW HOMES | SPRING ACRES
Spring Acres, in the popular village of Bapchild near to Sittingbourne in Kent, is an outstanding offering for the first time buyer market. The provision of much-needed family homes in a countryside location, good local schools and connectivity, high quality specification and affordability have proven to be a winning combination that offers great potential to first time buyers. Hyde’s award-winning levels of customer care, first class show homes and marketing suite technology ensures that first time buyers are guided smoothly through the off-plan buying process with 90% of all homes to date being snapped up ahead of completion. When the final phase of Spring Acres completes in late 2026, it will include a collection of 121 new Shared Ownership homes. Designed with harmony in mind, the development features inviting public spaces and peaceful outdoor areas with a focus on a natural retreat for residents and the local community.
