L&Q launches new family homes at growing Cambridgeshire development
Following two successful launches at Hooper’s Green, which saw all homes reserved within just a few weeks, L&Q will release a new collection of two- and three-bedroom homes at the development on 19th August.
As Cambridgeshire’s fastest growing town, sold prices over the last year were 11% up on the previous year in St Neots. Offering an affordable route onto the property ladder in the popular town, L&Q’s new houses are available exclusively through Shared Ownership.* Deposits for the launch start from just £4,725.
Hooper’s Green has been designed as a natural extension of St Neots. Offering convenience in a charming countryside setting, new residents will benefit from excellent transport links, a wealth of nearby green open spaces as well as a range of local amenities, including several local schools. Just a stone's throw away from the development is Wintringham's Civic Square, complete with a primary academy which offers an easy morning drop off for parents. Plans are also underway for future amenities including nurseries, a supermarket, and a family-friendly pub.
Claire Brenlund, Sales and Marketing Director at L&Q, comments, “Demand for properties, especially larger family homes, is growing in St Neots, so we are pleased to be delivering these attractive newbuild houses which offer generous internal and external living spaces.”
“Our three-bedroom semi-detached houses are perfect for family buyers seeking an affordable route onto the property ladder in an already thriving and welcoming community – within walking distance to St Neots town centre and train station. Meanwhile, our two-bedroom apartment, which is also due to launch in August, offers the perfect opportunity for a solo buyer or young couple to secure a home at the development.”
