Ditch the DIY and relax in a new Redrow home in St Neots

Few people have got the time to spend bringing an older property up to the same standards as a brand new home – that’s why in a new Redrow home everything has been done for you.
There’s no need to waste your days doing costly DIY or living in half your house while your renovate the other half; you could move into a brand new home and put your feet up straight away.
And with Redrow’s New Heritage Collection homes at Priory Gardens, in St Neots, you’ll still be getting a traditional looking home with enough ‘character’ features to reassure those worried about the very ‘newness’ of a new home. The sleek, modern, easy to maintain interiors are all ‘wrapped up’ in Arts & Crafts inspired exteriors.
Tonia Tyler, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Midlands), said: “Our New Heritage Collection has been designed to combine the best of old and new with lots of external features more typical of period-style homes. Our homes look traditional from the outside, but venture inside and you’ll find convivial open-plan living spaces, stylish, well-planned kitchens, with a host of top name appliances, contemporary bathroom suites and other high quality fixtures and fittings. ?
“DIY will be the last thing on your mind as you relax in the luxurious surroundings of your new home.”
Research by Redrow has also found many people vastly under-estimate how much it would cost to bring an older second hand home up to the same standard as a new home.
Tonia added: “People often buy an old house to ‘fix up’ because they think they can’t afford a brand new one, but our research show it could be a false economy. We’ve calculated that installing a new kitchen and bathrooms, redecorating throughout, installing a new heating system, replacing windows and other items in a typical three-bedroom home could easily add up to £30,000.”
A brand new Redrow home is also up to 40% more efficient than one built only 10 years ago, so potentially cheaper to run over time; it includes integrated appliances covered by manufacturers’ two-year guarantees; and comes with an NHBC 10-year ‘Buildmark’ warranty.
At Priory Gardens, three-bedroom homes are priced from £188,950 and four-bedroom detached homes from £274,950.
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.
For homebuyers looking for a more contemporary exterior design, Redrow still has a selection of homes at neighbouring Loves Farm, which also feature the same high specification modern interiors. Two, three and four-bedroom homes at Loves Farm are priced from £123,950.
