Laing sheds new light on Cambridge development

Home-buyers can now enjoy a first look at brand new two-bedroom apartments and four-bedroom homes, being built at Laing Homes’ impressive Eclipse development in Cambridge.

The leading housebuilder is creating a crescent of luxury properties in a fantastic location overlooking a beautiful landscaped green – and the properties are selling well ahead of the development’s 2010 completion date.

Within easy reach of the region’s commuter routes and Cambridge Science Park, Eclipse is destined to be popular with families, while plenty of opportunities also exist for first-time buyers.

A total of nine, three-story ‘Wentworth’ townhouses form part of the development. The four-bedroom house benefits from a light and airy kitchen/breakfast room - perfect for informal family mealtimes - and two further spacious reception rooms, of which one has French doors leading to the rear garden.

The upstairs landing leads to the second reception room, a bedroom/study and a main family bathroom, which has separate bath and shower. Three further bedrooms and an en-suite shower room can be found on the top floor and complete the flexible living space offered by the Wentworth, which is priced from £246,995.

For first-time buyers, young families and those perhaps looking to downsize, the ‘Heydon’ apartment boasts an impressive living/dining room with open-plan kitchen, ideal for entertaining.

With two good-size bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, a main bathroom and a private hallway, the ‘Heydon’ is available from £162,995.

Like all new homes at the development, properties on the crescent enjoy a high standard specification including gas central heating, chrome fittings, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and cooker hood.

Eclipse is less than two miles from the centre of Cambridge and its enviable shopping and leisure facilities and is also within easy reach of Cambridge Science Park, the A14, A11 and M11.

A range of everyday amenities are being built alongside the homes including a local shopping area, community centre, primary school, hotel, community sports pitches and tennis courts. Local transport links, including a regular bus service to Cambridge, have also been established.

Laing Homes offers a range of financial incentives tailor-made for both first-time buyers and those with a property to sell under its ‘easymover’ programme – designed to make moving into a new home as quick and hassle-free as possible.
