About the area
Shortstown is a village that lies north of the civil parish of Eastcotts parish on the outskirts of Bedford, on a ridge above the River Great Ouse, originally called Tinkers Hill. Local amenities include a tesco express, a doctors surgery, a pharmacy, a café, and several outdoor parks.

This ridge also overlooks the two other parts of Eastcotts - Harrowden to the north and Cotton End to the south. The name is taken from Short Brothers. The Admiralty established an airship works for the company in 1916. The company pulled out of airship work just three years later, but the name Shortstown stuck.

Road access to the village is provided by the A600 road. There is a bus that also runs frequent routes in the village, with buses running to and from the town centre at frequent intervals. Routes 9A and 9B also provide connections to Bedford as well as the nearby locations of Cotton End and Shefford, continuing on to Hitchin.

Shared ownership, how does it work?
If buying a home seems out of reach, shared ownership* could be the answer and offers a great alternative to renting. This property has a 50% share available to purchase, and you will pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share, as displayed above. In the future you can purchase further shares in your home** or sell your share and move on.

*Properties are offered as leasehold.

**Some properties are restricted to the level of share you can purchase.

Please note: Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
