Sales success at Aldermere, Cheshunt
Whilst the forecast for the UK property market is that it is likely to remain static for some time and positive predictions are tentative, confidence in Crest Nicholson’s Aldermere development in Cheshunt remains sky high with over 50% of phase one of the development sold since its launch in August 2010.
Peter Gold from Paul Wallace estate agents in Cheshunt, said: “Homes in Cheshunt are certainly moving well; even throughout the economic downturn sales and house prices did not dip to the extent in which they did throughout other parts of the country. Thanks to its mix of great shops and restaurants, beautiful countryside nearby, a good choice of primary and secondary schools and excellent transport links, Cheshunt is a desirable place to live and attracts many people at various stages of their lives.
“Quality of life in Cheshunt is high and parents are keen to raise their children here. Cheshunt Railway Station provides regular services to London in less than 30 minutes, thereby providing an ideal location for local professionals and commuters. With house prices lower than in London, Cheshunt offers the best of both worlds for city workers.
“Given the high quality of homes at Aldermere and the spacious, well-designed accommodation, it is not surprising that the development is proving popular. There is really nothing else available in the area of a comparable standard and in such a good location. Even so, in today’s market, the number of homes being sold there is tremendous and demonstrates that there is always an appetite for the right property at the right price in the right location.”
Annette Cole, Sales & Marketing Director for Crest Nicholson Eastern, said: “We are delighted by Aldermere’s continued success. Sales even remained high throughout the summer which is usually a quieter period.
“There are many contributing factors to Aldermere’s success. Brand new homes are always appealing; many buyers wish to buy somewhere that they can move straight into, rather than having to spend time, money and effort redecorating. With new homes buyers have peace of mind that they will not need to fix or replace old appliances or even old plumbing or electricity cables. They can simply move into their new home and start living in it straight away. Furthermore, thanks to new building techniques and standards, new homes are far more energy efficient than their older counterparts which results in lower bills – a fantastic bonus as we enter the autumn and winter months.
“Aldermere offers homes to suit a range of purchasers, whether they are first time buyers, professionals, families moving up the property ladder who want to be near good schools or older people downsizing after their family has flown the nest. We have built a variety of house types of different designs and sizes in order to meet the need of the local community.
“Aldermere has proved particularly popular with families and many of the four-bedroom houses were snapped up extremely quickly. The site is in the catchment area for several high performing primary and secondary schools, including Flamstead End Primary School, Dewhurst Church of England Primary School, St Paul’s Roman Catholic Primary School & Nursery, St Mary’s Church of England High School and Cheshunt High School, so this has been a big draw. Parents also appreciate the safe, community atmosphere of the development and, combined with the close proximity to the countryside and Lee Valley Park, this has proved a winning combination.”
The highly sought-after development, situated on Brookfield Lane West, comprises a selection of two, three and four-bedroom homes. With open-plan layouts and French doors that open onto the good sized gardens, spacious light-filled rooms and crisp interiors, the homes offer high spec luxury living in an attractive setting.
The 249 properties at Aldermere showcase a variety of different architectural styles that complement the local vernacular and ensure the development sits well within its surroundings. Each property has a blend of the best of traditional design with stylish, modern interiors, fixtures and fittings and also benefit from a range of eco-features to ensure that each home is extremely energy efficient and low maintenance.
The nearby Brookfield shopping centre provides fantastic shopping opportunities, as does Cheshunt with its range of high street and boutique shops and restaurants.
