We are proud to share that Beaulieu Gate, the latest phase at our flagship scheme with L&Q in Chelmsford, Essex, has been awarded the ‘Best First Time Buyer Apartment’ at this year’s First Time Buyer Reader Awards.

Celebrating the commitment of housebuilders and housing associations who are helping aspirational buyers across the UK to step onto the property ladder, these acclaimed awards highlight our commitment to providing high-quality homes in sought after locations at an affordable price.

Our success in this category recognises our ability to provide properties that offer first time buyers the chance to step onto the property ladder in a sought-after location whilst also showcasing a thoughtful internal design and effective landscaping of communal areas.

Securing this award is a testament to the hard work of all those involved in our projects and reinforces our position as a developer that first time buyers can trust. We endeavour to continue to provide affordable and sustainable new homes for generations to come, as we continue to deliver places people love.

Lynda Clark, Editor of First Time Buyer magazine commented, “We were delighted that Countryside Partnerships and L&Q won Best First Time Buyer Apartment at the FTB Readers’ Awards 2023. Competition was fierce this year so just to get shortlisted was quite an achievement, but Beaulieu Gate was a winner!”

“The apartments are stunning with an excellent specification, top of the range integrated appliances, luxury flooring and beautiful bright and spacious rooms. The real icing on the cake is that they are surrounded by acres of public open space alongside good transport links. The Readers of the magazine were certainly impressed as it was an outright winner!”
