A fresh start with a perfect property in St Ives

When home-hunter Natasha Thornberry decided her old home no longer suited her family’s requirements, she found exactly what she was looking for at Taylor Wimpey’s Slepe Meadow development of new homes for sale in St Ives, Cambridgeshire.

After 10 years living in her old home in the centre of St Ives, Cambridgeshire property-seeker Natasha Thornberry was ready for a new beginning.

Her children had grown into teenagers and her tastes and requirements had changed. She no longer needed to live in the middle of the thriving town, and was hankering after the peace, quiet and glorious views a place bordering Cambridgeshire’s countryside could offer.

Taylor Wimpey’s Slepe Meadow development of houses for sale in St Ives gave Natasha the chance to secure the lifestyle she wanted for the next phase of her life.

“Moving to Slepe Meadow has been life changing, I’m the happiest I’ve been in years,” says Natasha (47), a Teaching Assistant, reflecting on her purchase at the Taylor Wimpey St Ives development. “I was one of the first on the development to pick up their keys and the first one to move in and I’m enjoying every minute in my new home.

“I’d been living in an older, 1960s property for several years, it needed work doing to it and my children were now teenagers, so it felt like the right time to make a new start and look at new build homes in St Ives.

Natasha wanted to find somewhere more peaceful, with more space for her family, yet within easy reach of St Ives town centre.

“Slepe Meadow is perfect for our needs; from my home I can see fields, trees and animals, it’s almost in the countryside, but at the same time it is still very much a part of St Ives,” adds Natasha.

“And the townhouse I chose is ideal. It’s got three spacious bedrooms and has been generously laid out over three floors. Now that my children are teenagers, there’s all the room we need.

“From the first time we visited the homes, we’ve felt comfortable at Slepe Meadow, and that feeling has continued now that we live at the development – it’s exactly what we needed!”

All homes at Slepe Meadow are completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

To make choosing one of these high-quality homes even more appealing, Taylor Wimpey offers a range of helpful homebuyer incentives for first-time buyers and those with a property to sell.

Incentives can be tailored to customers’ individual circumstances and are subject to availability with full details available from the Sales Executive.

Slepe Meadow is situated within easy reach of St Ives’ historic waterfront and town centre with its bustling market place, yet the new homes also enjoy a peaceful location bordered by open countryside.

A perfect location for commuters, the development benefits from quick and easy access to the A1123 for Huntingdon, a mere four miles away. Huntingdon railway station, with its direct routes to Kings Cross and Peterborough, is just five miles from the development, while Cambridge is only 16 miles away via the A14, which also connects to the A1 and M11 motorway, and, a little further afield, the M1 and M6.
