Location, location, location in Cambridgeshire

Cambridgeshire is continuing to grow rapidly as a top rate residential location. With many professionals choosing to work Cambridge itself but not necessarily living in the city, it comes as no surprise to Persimmon Homes East Midlands that properties at its Renaissance development in Arbury are proving so appealing.

Demand for homes at Persimmon's Arbury-based developments has shown little sign of slowing with more people looking to live at a location which is close to the city yet also provides access to a range of local facilities, excellent links and stunning countryside - and Arbury ticks all the right boxes.

"Properties near a city location are always highly sought after and homes at Renaissance are no exception," comments Steve Matthews, sales director for Persimmon Homes East Midlands.

With average prices in Cambridgeshire now topping £209,607*, Persimmon Homes has the solution to buying an affordable property without the expensive price tag. Steve explains: "At Renaissance our prices start from £199,995 and with our shared equity scheme, purchasers may pay as little as £149,997 for a brand new two bedroom apartment."

Persimmon is also offering househunters its acclaimed ‘Move into a Showhome' scheme, which is a popular choice among first time buyers as Persimmon will professionally interior design and style their home at no extra expense. Purchasers can therefore sit back and relax, knowing their home will be the envy of all who visit without any additional effort required.

Renaissance consists of a select variety of two bedroom apartments as well as a number of three and four bedroom homes.

The facilities and attractions of Cambridge are within easy reach for home owners at Renaissance, with shopping centres such as the Grafton Centre, Lion Yard and the Grand just around the corner. There is also a plethora of restaurants, bistros and pubs which cater for every pocket and taste.
