Village lifestyle at a surprising price

Selling agent Connells are currently marketing a superb collection of 10 apartments at The Quills in the village of Girton, Cambridgeshire on behalf of Paradigm Housing, who develop new homes for those who are struggling to get on the property ladder.

The properties have been proving very popular and Connells New Homes Manager, Lisa Shiell commented, " We have had a huge response from people looking to buy an affordable home in the area and have almost sold all of the top floor apartments. With only 7 homes remaining we are advising anyone interested to come and see us now, to avoid the disappointment of missing out on these fantastic properties".

The apartments are available on a shared ownership basis for those who cannot afford to buy their own home on the open market. People can purchase a property on a part buy part rent basis. In this instance, buyers can purchase one of the apartments for a share of between 30- 75%, with the remaining percentage paid as a rental figure.

The one and two bedroom apartments have been contemporarily designed for low maintenance practical living. The open plan kitchen/living area is a versatile space, perfect for holding dinner parties or for those who need to work from home. The fitted kitchen will include a range of appliances.

All of the new homes will have fitted carpets, a stylish bathroom and an allocated parking space, with some having a Juliette balcony to the living area, where you can sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery.

The village of Girton has a small number of shops, a post office and a pub. There is a regular bus service that runs to Cambridge City Centre, for those who want a larger range of shops and facilities, which is approximately 3 mile away.

Prices for the one-bedroom apartments start from £45,000 and for the two bedroom apartments from £49,500; this is based on a 30% share using shared ownership.
