Househunter’s top choice is Chatteris

According to the Building Societies Association, the public is still confident in the housing market in Cambridgeshire despite recent price rises, a view that has been echoed by Peterborough-based Persimmon Homes East Midlands at its Chatteris development, Persimmon Gardens.

“With the combination of the interest rate remaining at 5.75 per cent since July, developers building desirable homes to suit househunters needs and the availability of incentives, the reality is, we are experiencing a demand for new homes from people who need to take that next step,” comments Steve Matthews, regional sales director for Persimmon Homes.

Persimmon can report that due to unprecedented interest it has already sold ten out of the 17 homes in Phase I before the development has even launched.

Steve continues: “We believe that Chatteris will be the next property hot spot as it is a fantastic village location, whilst boasting excellent links to Huntingdon, Peterborough and Cambridge. It seems that we’re not the only ones who believe this view as interest in Persimmon Gardens has gone through the roof.”

Purchasers at the development are impressed with the site’s situation as well as the range of homes on offer. Persimmon is currently offering a selection of two bedroom bungalows as well as a number of three, four and five bedroom properties, making the development ideal for first time buyers, commuters, young and growing families as well as those looking to downsize.

Steve concludes: “It’s hard to believe that we’ve sold almost 60 per cent of the properties in the first phase which is testament to just how successful this development will be.”

Prices at Persimmon Gardens start from as little as £114,995 for a one bedroom coach house and interested househunters will be pleased to know that an additional number of properties will be released soon to meet demand.

The market town of Chatteris has a host of local amenities as well as two primary schools and a secondary school. Cambridge, Huntingdon and Peterborough are just a short distance away and via the M11, the bright lights of London are easily accessible.
