Quality and Accessibility

All homes at Horden Meadow are built to Kingswood’s 5-star build quality standards and are ‘tenure blind,’ meaning there is no visual difference between shared ownership, affordable rent, and open market properties. This approach creates an integrated community where all residents enjoy the same high-quality living environment.

James Brown, Architectural Director at Kingswood Homes, commented: “These homes represent our commitment to building a more sustainable future while making quality, affordable housing accessible to all. We’re proving that affordable housing can be delivered with the same excellence as our open market homes, while also leading the way in carbon reduction.”
