Description
Funky & Affordable homes to buy through shared ownership in Pattern House, Longlands, Stalybridge available now!
We have developed two buildings within the Longlands development. The first building, known as ‘The Mill’, a Grade II Listed building offering historic charm, modern city living, and stunning countryside views. We still have some homes available to buy with prices starting from £165,000 or to rent from £575pcm.
Urban Splash is picking up where the cotton industry left off, bringing a once thriving cotton mill back to life. Homes, shops, cafés and gardens will revive this site, perfectly nestled between the Huddersfi eld Narrow Canal and the banks of the River Tame.The Mill is the first building to be occupied and it’s all about contrast; it’s contemporary but you can also see the beams, pillars and brickwork that are the bones of a building that has been here for two centuries. With gardens in the space surrounding the building, designed to be somewhere you’ll want to spend time, an extension of your home.
The ground floor commercial units in the Mill have all of the qualities of the original building with a fully glazed shop front and should bring new businesses to the area ensuring it is alive both day and night.
Pattern House, Longlands
Together with Architects Space Craft, we are creating fantastic new one and two bedroom apartments in Pattern House, all featuring balconies, with ground floor apartments benefitting from garden terraces. The high specification apartments all have floor to ceiling glazing, allowing natural light throughout the generous open space. Car parking is also available for every apartment. With ground floor office and leisure space available too, Longlands is a great place to live and work.
Outdoors is important too, communal gardens that feel like somewhere to live – texture, scent, colour and simple spacious expanses that drop right down to the river bank. Beautiful countryside on your doorstep!
Longlands has excellent transport links to the areas surrounding Stalybridge and is also within easy reach of Manchester City Centre. The train station is only a ten minute walk from Longlands and the area is also served well by buses.
Famous for its historic cotton industry, Stalybridge is a charming town that has been through a major process of regeneration. The town centre has been transformed, with investment by the public and private sectors creating new
shops and leisure facilities. To the east lies the beautiful Chew Valley and the Pennine Hills.
Shared ownership coming soon to Stalybridge
We want to give everyone the chance to own their very own home. There are many ways to live in our vibrant communities and working together with the Homes and Communities Agency we can now offer you the opportunity to buy your own Funky & Affordable home through shared ownership. Same funky apartment with everything you would expect from an Urban Splash home… but more affordable if you can’t quite manage to buy outright just yet.
Shared ownership is a government backed initiative funded by the Homes and Communities Agency, to help you get your foot on the housing ladder. It allows you to purchase an affordable share in your own home, ranging from 25% - 75%, with the option to buy additional shares in the future taking you into 100% outright ownership.
If you do need time to save up for your deposit, as an alternative to purchasing a share straight away, you can rent at 80% of market rent, allowing you to save now with a view to purchasing at any point within the next five years.

Can I buy through shared ownership?
The good news is that it’s available to a really broad audience, the main criteria being that:
- You/your household has an annual income of less than £60,000 (Let’s face it, who doesn’t!)
- You are in full time employment
- You currently own no other properties
Through shared ownership, you can buy anything from 25% to 75% of the property, renting the remaining share at 2.75% per annum. The amount you can afford will be assessed by the HomeBuy Agent who acts on behalf of the government. Urban Splash wants to help our customers further, therefore those opting to buy straight away will benefit from a contribution of up to 5% towards your deposit*
What’s a HomeBuy agent?
HomeBuy agents act on behalf of the government and will assess your eligibility for shared ownership and process your application
