The Pastures

We’re building 40 affordable, high-quality homes in the Pastures, offered in a range of property sizes and types. 10 of the properties are for rent and 30 are for shared ownership. We started the work in 2023 and will finish in October 2024.

The new homes include a mix of detached, semi-detached and terraced houses with two, three and four bedrooms, plus their own garden and private parking. Our shared ownership homes in particular are ideal for local families who might have been priced out of the local market. 

The development is an attractive, sought-after and well-connected location, between the towns of Bedford and Hitchin. The village has a population of about 2,300 people and enjoys local facilities like a shop, pharmacy, GP surgery, pub, primary school and post office. The closest main road is the A600 which links the village to Bedford and Hitchin, and there’s also a regular bus service. 

This is our first new development in the Central Bedfordshire district, though geographically close to another development of ours in the nearby Bedford Borough.

All homes will be EPC-rated B. ​​The scheme will be developed by Snowdon Homes in partnership with the Parish Council.
