St Neots homes selling at a rate of knots

Offering chic city styling within an hour’s commute of London, new homes in St Neots are in high demand.

Just four months on from a cocktail reception launch, almost half of the properties at Abode St Neots have been snapped up and the first residents have now moved in.

There are also would-be homeowners waiting in the wings for particular properties to come onto the market.

Sales director Tonia Tyler says: “Abode St Neots is a real success story and since the launch we’ve achieved an average sales rate of 1.5 homes a week. We’ve taken 24 reservations, with two customers already settled in their new homes and others due to move in. We have another eight people who’ve made early bird reservations giving them first dibs on their chosen property.

“The popularity is due to a combination of factors including the location – London King’s Cross is within an hour’s journey including travelling to the local station – plus the overall design and finish of our homes, as there’s nothing quite like Abode in the area.”

Abode homes are very contemporary, with ‘uncluttered’ but smart façades and a host of in-vogue interior features that are stylish and practical.

Open plan layouts on the ground floor maximise the potential of the space available; while in many designs each bedroom benefits from an en-suite.

The homes enjoy underfloor heating and fashionable wet rooms, while banks of discreet storage units create faux walls.

Two and three-bedroom homes at Abode St Neots are available from £242,950.

All of the properties can be secured with a 5% deposit and 75% mortgage through Help to Buy, with the remaining 20% covered by the equity loan.

To sample the Abode designs, visit the show homes, open daily from 10am to 5.30pm.
