The superbly spacious four-bedroom ‘Azalea’ detached home is the perfect choice for growing families, and is available to quick-off-the-mark purchasers for a great-value price that undercuts the average for the area.

The exceptional double-fronted ‘Azalea’ is characterised by a large kitchen/breakfast room and a light and airy lounge – each opening through French doors to the private rear garden – while a separate dining room, a handy home office and a guest cloakroom can also be found off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the landing leads to a magnificent master bedroom with en-suite, a second en-suite bedroom, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the property also features a garage and additional parking space outside.

Like all new homes at Vision, the ‘Azalea’ is completed to a high standard specification, including central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

Those with a house to sell can also take advantage of Taylor Wimpey’s easymover incentive, which lets customers sit back and relax while the housebuilder finds a buyer for their existing property.

While the average selling time for easymover customers is just five weeks, many see their current homes sold within the first fortnight. Ninety per cent of properties are sold successfully through the initiative, and the typical timescale from sale to exchange of contracts is just 10 weeks.

Meanwhile, Taylor Wimpey’s part exchange scheme gives purchasers the full market value of their current property – based on the average of three independent valuations – off the price of their brand new home at Vision.

Incentives are available on selected homes only, are subject to availability and can be tailored to customers’ individual requirements. Further information is available from the Sales Executive.

Alternative new homes options available to purchase at the development include the four-bedroom semi-detached ‘Claret’ townhouse, priced from only £181,995, and the sumptuous five-bedroom detached ‘Lavender’ from only £249,995.

Hampton Vale is a well-served community on the edge of the Cambridgeshire countryside, yet with easy access to Peterborough city centre and major road and rail networks. London is just 50 minutes from Peterborough by train.

Homes at Vision enjoy a good range of everyday facilities on the doorstep, including a convenience store, hair and beauty salon, dental practice, restaurants and a primary school, while Serpentine Green shopping centre is within easy walking distance and includes a large supermarket, a petrol station, a pharmacy and a range of shops and cafes.

A wider selection of shopping, leisure and educational facilities can be found in Peterborough and regular bus services link Hampton Vale with the city centre.

For leisure time, Ferry Meadows Country Park is just a mile from the development, offering nearly 500 acres of lakes, woodland and riverside walks, bird-watching, golf, water sports, pony rides and boat trips. The park is also home to the Nene Valley Steam Railway and a number of annual events, including a kite-flying festival, a rowing club regatta and wildlife days.
