Anchor Shared Ownership offers a flexible way to buy a home at The Beacons, allowing you to purchase a share of the property in Beaulieu rather than pay the full value upfront.

You can buy between 25% and 90% of the property’s value, usually using savings or proceeds from the sale of an existing home. You’ll pay a monthly rent on the share you don’t own, along with a monthly service charge.

At The Beacons, you can also buy your home outright with 100 per cent ownership, so you can own one of the new apartments for sale in Beaulieu Park, Chelmsford. This offers the freedom, simplicity and long-term security of full homeownership, complemented by a monthly service charge that covers the upkeep of communal areas and facilities.

Each home is designed for independent later living, combining comfort, practicality and quality. With over 60 years of experience, Anchor delivers high standards throughout — helping you enjoy a lifestyle that feels both private and connected.
