Move into a energy efficient home near St Neots before Christmas

Homebuyers could enjoy Christmas in a brand new home close to the Cambridgeshire town of St Neots - and enjoy a future with lower fuel bills.

Well insulated, with double glazing and central heating fitted as standard, new Redrow homes at Priory Gardens are easy to manage and efficient to run. With homes ready to move into now, buyers could be spending the festive season in their new home and find that they are able to keep warm in the winter without having to worry about hefty gas and electricity bills.

Tonia Tyler, are sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Midlands), commented: “When figures were last collated the average household could save more than £500 on energy bills if they moved from an older property to a brand new home. This doesn’t take into account recent price hikes and, with new homes said to be 40% more energy efficient than those built at the beginning of the decade, the savings could actually be far higher.”?
Redrow homes consistently outperform the recommended minimum air-tightness standard which means they lose less heat and have fewer drafts. They are also among only 1% of UK homes which achieve a ‘B’ rating for energy efficiency.

“The cost of making an older property as energy efficient as one our new homes soon mounts up. To install a new heating system, loft insulation and double glazed windows in a typical three-bedroom home would set you back almost £10,000,” Tonia added.

Current availability at Priory Gardens includes a choice of two, three and four-bedroom properties, priced from £161,950.

“Another advantage of buying a brand new home is that it comes with the peace of mind of a 10-year ‘Buildmark’ warranty, while the appliances are covered by a two-year manufacturer’s warranty. Plus with no upward chain to get caught up in you won’t have to wait for the previous owner to move out so that you can move in,” Tonia explained.

Among the homes ready to move into is the three-bedroom Broadway, priced from £181,950, which has been designed with families in mind. The elegant layout includes a convivial open-plan kitchen and dining room at the heart of the home, which ensures the ‘chef’ of the household is never cut off from the rest of the family. Kitchens include integrated top brand name appliances, with floor to ceiling units and extra wide drawers offering plenty of storage.

There’s a generous lounge at the rear of the property with French doors onto the garden and other features designed to make life less complicated, such as a downstairs cloakroom and a separate laundry store to keep noisy appliances neatly tucked away. Upstairs there are three good-sized bedrooms, including a master bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a family bathroom, which boasts quality fixtures and fittings and an exclusive tile range.
