Latimer, the development arm of Clarion Housing Group, has announced the launch of 105 new Shared Ownership homes at Collingtree Park in Northampton. The second phase of homes at the beautifully designed site follows the sellout success of the initial launch of 72 properties, which saw all homes sold off plan – the majority of them to first-time buyers. The new phase consists of two, three and four bedroom homes with the first properties ready to move into now.  

Collingtree Park's enviable location on the southern edge of Northampton means the homes are in particularly high demand. The village development is just 13 minutes' drive from Northampton Station, from which trains can reach London Euston in as little as 51 minutes.[1] Trains can also reach Birmingham New Street in the same time.[2] The location means buyers can enjoy the picturesque open greenspaces, parks and waterways that dominate the landscape around Collingtree Park, while also benefitting from fast and reliable direct trains into the UK's two largest cities. Handily, Milton Keynes is just a 14-minute train journey away, while drivers enjoy easy access to junction 15 of the M1.

Ruth Birch, Regional Sales Manager at Latimer, comments: “Following exceptionally strong demand for the initial phase of homes at Collingtree Park, we are delighted to launch a second phase of properties. With homes ranging from one to four bedrooms, there is something for every buyer at this ideally located development, while the homes being available with shared ownership makes them an outstanding opportunity for buyers that may not be able to afford to buy on the open

market.”

In July 2025 it was reported that buyer demand was unseasonably high across the UK, an 11% increase on the same time in 2024[3]. Buyer demand in the East Midlands is currently the highest of all UK regions, with the stock of homes struggling to keep pace, further levelling up demand for the elevated standard of living and superior commutability of Collingtree Park.

The spacious, high-quality homes at Collingtree Park are available with shared ownership, providing an affordable route onto the property ladder for first-time buyers and other eligible purchasers. The range of properties available means the development has much to offer solo buyers, couples, families and downsizers, creating a community in which everyone is welcome. Each home features a superior specification, prioritising comfort, stylish design and attention to detail. Luxurious touches such as Porcelanosa tiling and sumptuous carpets ensure that buyers can delight in every room, while varied layouts meet a wide range of needs.

The contemporary design includes integrated, energy efficient appliances in kitchens, with this energy efficiency echoed throughout the rest of the property. Latimer's commitment to achieving the highest levels of sustainability mean that all homes at Collingtree Park are low carbon and cost effective to heat and run.

Buyers at Collingtree Park have all they need to hand. The serene residential streets are conveniently close to Northampton's vibrant town centre, packed with shops, restaurants, diverse leisure venues and a thriving market that has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment. The hustle and bustle of town life is balanced with the peace of the fairways next to the development, which sits beside the idyllic Collingtree Park Golf Club. The family-friendly Greens restaurant and a Virgin Active fitness centre with indoor and outdoor pools, spa facilities, wellness classes and a crèche, are also within the immediate vicinity of Collingtree Park.

The development will add to the local area with facilities of its own, growing the neighbourhood in multiple ways as the community expands. New shops, business space and sports facilities are all planned, enhancing local life in the already sought-after location. Completing the picture for families, the local NN4 postcode area is home to five 'Outstanding' rated academies, catering to children all the way from two to 19.

The first release of homes on the second phase at Collingtree Park are priced from £105,000 for a 40% share of a two-bedroom home with a full market value of £262,500. Buyers only need a 5% deposit based on the share they are buying, meaning a deposit from just £5,250 is required. There are only 12 homes due to be released this year, so buyers are recommended to act quickly if they want to secure a home at this development.
