RESTAURANT: How the facilities at Quantock House will look

Prices start from £117,500 at Quantock House, based on the buyer paying 50% of the property’s full market value.

The homes are made affordable as part of a government-backed shared ownership scheme delivered in partnership with Homes England. 

The development features a range of communal facilities including a restaurant and bar area, homeowners’ lounge, activity room, and treatment room, as well as outdoor seating in the landscaped gardens.

Quantock House will also have a dedicated onsite community manager who organises fun activities such as cheese and wine evenings, book clubs and quizzes, as well as offering practical and emotional support to the homeowners.
