Storey Homes is presenting a rare opportunity to snap up a well-planned, truly spacious family home at a surprisingly low price at its Valiant Square development, a former Ministry of Defence site in Ramsey near Cambridgeshire.

To ease the move for buyers, Storey will consider part exchange on their existing property or, in the event of a collapsed sale, on another property in the chain.

The refurbishment and upgrading of existing houses means that Valiant Square offers all the contemporary comforts of a brand new home in a development that has already matured into its rural setting. With four bedroom properties available for a limited period only at just £209,950, purchasers cannot afford to miss out.

Phase 1 of Valiant Square comprises the 27 detached houses of two different styles, all with new kitchens and bathrooms and most with a garage. A striking feature is the woodland/country walk that meanders through the development, creating a residential enclave that blends with the beautiful open countryside that surrounds it.

Phase 2, which has yet to obtain planning permission, will complement the refurbished homes with a new courtyard development of 14 three- and four-bedroom semi-detached, link-detached and detached houses. Plans for associated new walkways as well as a play area are also due to be submitted as part of this overall proposal.

Valiant Square formerly provided accommodation for married officers serving at RAF Upwood, which originally opened in 1917 and closed in 1995 and which played a major role in the character and recent history of nearby Bury and Ramsey.

"We are very proud of Valiant Square, Storey Homes’ first development in Cambridgeshire," says Gareth Jacob, Head of Sales and Marketing for Storey Homes. "It is rare to find such a large home offering all the advantages of a newly built property and the character and gracious setting of a period one. When the development is complete, it will have achieved the reinstatement of this historic area in Ramsey to its original character, greatly improving the local vernacular."

The refurbished homes feature a newly fitted kitchen with utility room, dining room and sitting room on the ground floor plus four spacious bedrooms and a newly fitted bathroom upstairs.

Ramsey is a historic market town founded around the Benedictine Abbey in the 10th Century; the Medieval Gatehouse remains today. The bustling town provides a selection of shops, cafes and public houses, amply accommodating everyday needs. For fitness enthusiasts there is a sports centre, bowls club, tennis clubs and Ramsey Golf club within easy reach. Families are also well catered for, with a good selection of primary, secondary and sixth form schools.

Situated just a few minutes from the A1 running north and south and within 15 minutes of the A14 running east and west, residents have easy access to surrounding towns and villages. Huntington is around 20 minutes away and Peterborough can be reached in 25 minutes; both are served by mainline railway stations into London.

Prices at Valiant Square start from £209,950 for a four-bedroom detached home. For further information visit: storey-homes.co.uk
