Picturesque new homes for Cambridge buyers

With a stunning riverside location and a choice of 400 stylish apartments and houses, interest in Taylor Wimpey’s new Papermill Lock development near Cambridge is expected to be high.

The sales office at this picturesque location in Little Paxton, St Neots, opens in October and those househunters looking to move to a high-quality new home are urged to register their details sooner rather than later.

Steve Rolt, Taylor Wimpey East Anglia Sales and Marketing Director, says: “Papermill Lock is very much a development that has something for everyone, whether their priorities are location or simply the search for a fantastic new home.

“The superb one and two-bedroom apartments that are being built will appeal to first time buyers, couples and those looking to downsize from a larger home – while the superbly-equipped three and four-bedroom homes are perfect for families.”

There are tasteful finishing touches to all the homes, including kitchens fitted with stylish units and with built-in stainless steel oven, hob and hood.

Papermill Lock is built on the site of the Samuel Jones paper mill and nestles in a peaceful rural setting next to the meandering River Great Ouse, within easy reach of the thriving market town of St Neots.

The largest town in Cambridgeshire and named after a Saxon monk, St Neots is a thriving place with a bustling traditional Thursday market and regular farmers’ markets and provides a wealth of open space, parks and riverside walks just minutes from the development.

St Neots is a popular location with commuters: the A1 links to London in the south and Peterborough to the north, while the A14 offers direct access to the Midlands and East Anglia.

Bedford is 12 miles and Cambridge 18 miles away, and trains running from St Neots to London’s Kings Cross – with fast-links to Europe from St Pancras – take just 39 minutes.

St Neots is also home to acres of green parks and open-spaces and has been described as ‘a town in a garden’. Riverside Park, close to the town centre is set in 72 acres with a waterside frontage, a pitch and putt golf course and play areas, a boating lake, a skateboarding complex and is a great place to listen to relaxing live music on summer Sundays.

The Priory Centre hosts everything from theatre productions to discos as well as the annual Folk Festival, while St Neots Leisure Centre offers facilities from tennis courts, badminton and squash courts to swimming pool and sauna, aerobics room to astro-turf pitch, and the Impressions Fitness Studio.

For househunters interested in making their move to the development, Taylor Wimpey’s easymover programme offers a range of special incentives on selected properties including support for first time buyers - while customers with a house to sell can reserve their new home and then sit back and relax while the housebuilder helps to find a buyer for their current property.

Incentives can be tailored to homebuyers’ circumstances and are subject to availability. Further details are available from the Sales Executive.
