Beat the chill and rising bills with a new home in St Neots

If the cold snap and rising energy costs are leaving you feeling hot under the collar it could be time to switch to an energy efficient new home in St Neots.

Properties at Priory Gardens in Hogsden Leys are designed to maximise efficiency and minimise waste. It means that instead of facing hefty bills from trying to heat a draughty old home, those who move to the popular Redrow development could look forward to warmer winters and lower fuel bills.

Helen McGill, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Midlands), commented: “With the wintry conditions we’ve experienced recently following price increases from the six major energy companies householders may be thinking twice before switching on their heating. As people count the cost of keeping warm we’re encouraging them to think about their living arrangements and the potential savings they could make by moving to a brand new home.

“It’s well documented that new build homes are more energy efficient than older properties. And according to a Government report, even if they have been improved over time and added insulation in the loft and double-glazing, older homes tend to have poorer thermal performance than new homes overall. In contrast, the average Redrow home performs 35% better on heat loss than those built 10 years ago. ”

With three, four and five bedroom homes available from £237,950, Priory Gardens offers plenty of choice for buyers.

Inspired by the architecture of the Arts and Crafts era, they ooze the charm and character of ‘period’ properties but without the drawbacks.

They’re well insulated with double glazing and central heating included as standard.

Kitchens are at the heart of the homes and are well equipped with integrated top brand name appliances including oven, hob, microwave and fridge freezer; while bathrooms and en-suites enjoy quality fixtures and fittings with a tile range exclusive to Redrow.

Those who move to Priory Gardens will be able to balance town and country living as the homes benefit from easy access to a wealth of local amenities in St Neots as there are shops, weekly markets and schools plus opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors with a stroll along the Ouse Valley Way or pay a visit to Paxton Pits Nature Reserve.

The town enjoys good road links to the A1, M1 and M11, with Bedford and Cambridge only about 25 minutes’ drive away. The nearby train station offers journey times to London King’s Cross in around 45 minutes.

To discover more about the benefits of moving to an energy efficient new home, visit Priory Gardens, where the show homes and sales office are open daily from 10am to 5.30pm.
