Help for baby boomers in search of more space in St Neots
A combination of the recession and bitterly cold winter weather is set to spark another baby boom this autumn, experts have suggested – and Redrow’s here to help.
So if you’re an expectant parent or have just welcomed a new arrival, then a brand new yet affordable family home from Redrow at Loves Farm in St Neots could be on your radar. Redrow is offering baby boomers some fantastic tailored incentives on completed three-bedroom homes.
It is thought that due to the gloomy economic climate and two freezing winters, couples have stayed in more instead of going out and this may have led to a rise in the number of pregnancies.
Over the past two years Tesco saw an increase in sales of pregnancy tests by 31 per cent, with almost 3.5 million sold in 2010.
Celebrities have joined in too. Those expecting this year include Victoria Beckham in July and fellow former Spice Girl Mel B this summer, while ‘Baby Spice’ Emma Bunton has just given birth to her second child; plus England footballer Steven Gerrard’s wife Alex in August, Jodie Kidd in mid-September, and Lily Allen who has just announced she is pregnant.
Statistics from the NHS Information Centre showed almost 10,000 babies more than average were born in England and Wales from September to November last year – around nine months after temperatures plummeted. And another spike in birth rates is expected later this year following the freezing temperatures in December.
So for those who ‘cosied up’ last winter and have found themselves in need of a larger home, the three-bedroom Dunmore could be ideal.
Priced from £179,950, this light and airy home features a combined kitchen and dining area. There is also a large lounge to relax in, with French doors opening out on to the garden and a convenient downstairs cloakroom. The first floor is home to the master bedroom, with en suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Loves Farm is one of two neighbouring Redrow developments in St Neots. The second, Priory Gardens, features more traditional looking Arts & Crafts influenced new homes from the developer’s New Heritage Collection, priced from £160,950. Again they’re ideally suited to families.
Mary Timlin, Redrow’s sales director, says: “Our homes are perfect for families. Properties at both locations are built to the same high standards and all feature Redrow’s latest interior specification and family friendly open plan layouts, plus contemporary new kitchen designs, including floor to ceiling units and top brand name appliances.”
St Neots town centre offers many shops, restaurants and entertainment venues, as well as the main attractions of the Great River Ouse and Riverside Park.
The location is ideal for commuters as they’re close to the local train station with direct trains to London and good road links to the A1, M1 and M11, with Bedford and Cambridge only about 25 minutes’ drive away.
