Savvy buyers head for Cambourne
We all tend to accept the prices of properties are higher in Britain’s top locations, such as new homes in Cambridge, but did you know that just a few minutes’ drive away, you could save thousands of pounds on the cost of a new home?
At Taylor Wimpey’s Greenfields Park development in Cambourne a ‘Greenwich’ four-bedroom new home is priced from just £199,995 – around £210,000* less than similar new homes in Cambridge, just nine miles away.
And because the Taylor Wimpey properties in Cambourne are all brand new homes, they can offer even better value for money for buyers than purchasing a second hand house.
Nicola Bullivant, Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, says: “The difference in house prices in Cambridgeshire, even in the space of a few miles, is quite staggering, and by moving to a brand new community designed to offer excellent commuter links to Cambridge, people can either enjoy a far bigger property for their money, or reduce their monthly mortgage payments considerably.
“We are finding more and more savvy buyers that are looking for homes for sale in Cambridge or new houses for sale in Huntingdon are moving to developments such as Greenfields Park because they offer superb quality, a popular location and a better lifestyle.”
The new homes development, in the village of Cambourne, just off the A428, is perfect for families, first-time buyers, commuters and couples of all ages, and offers an affordable way to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Quiet countryside is teamed with the new homes being near to schools for primary children, a nursery, a library, a multi-purpose sports centre, playing fields and play areas, a multi-denominational church, and a medical centre.
The Cambridge Belfry Hotel is also a short walk from the Taylor Wimpey development and provides a swimming pool and leisure facilities, while Cambridge city centre is home to a superb range of shops and entertainment venues.
A four-bedroom house at Greenfields Park, the ‘Greenwich’ is an ideal choice for those seeking a contemporary home that offers plenty of flexible space for family life or entertaining.
Characterised by a magnificent kitchen/breakfast room with French doors to the private rear garden, the ground floor is completed by a bedroom which could alternatively be used as a home study, and a cloakroom off the entrance hallway.
