New development provides homes for locals
2nd April 2026 – Hartog Hutton, renowned East Anglian housebuilder, today announced that it is offering two properties in Charsfield exclusively to locals at a reduced sale price.
Following collaboration with East Suffolk Council, Hartog Hutton has designated two homes on its Blythe Meadow development as Discount to Market, with a sale price 20% below market value, for those who meet certain criteria.
The scheme is open to those who have continuously lived or worked in Charsfield, or a neighbouring parish*, for at least five years or have immediate family living in the catchment for the same minimum period.
This opportunity differs to the Government’s First Homes scheme in that purchasers do not have to be first time buyers. Eligible persons must earn a combined income of less than £80,000 per annum, and the same restrictions will apply to all future sales of these properties to ensure the benefits are passed on for generations to come.
“Part of our role as a housebuilder is to ensure that locals are able to afford a home in their own town or village,” said George Wells, director Hartog Hutton. “The Discount to Market scheme provides an affordable tenure, which makes home ownership more achievable and helps to retain a strong community.”
