Wintringham forms part of the new Eastern Gateway to St Neots and, once completed, will include 2,800 homes set around a series of distinct neighbourhoods and green open space. At the heart of the development will be an attractively designed Civic Square, boasting a health centre, library, shops and office space. The new Wintringham Primary Academy will also open later this year.
Cala at Wintringham is one of the first phases to be launched on the development and offers a collection of 178 modern one and two bedroom apartments and three and four bedroom homes. The first properties to be released include contemporary one bedroom apartments priced from £189,500 and four bedroom family homes priced from £539,950.
The two professionally-designed showhomes, which can now be viewed by appointment, showcase the light and spacious interiors, attention to detail and high specification of the properties offered by Cala.
The Eltisley showhome is a superb example of generous family living over three floors. The ground floor features a kitchen/breakfast/family room with French doors to the rear garden, a separate lounge, a formal dining room and a handy downstairs cloakroom. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, including bedroom one which has fitted wardrobes and an ensuite. The top floor of this property features a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and separate study, an ideal teenager’s haven or a tranquil escape for those working from home.
Both first-time buyers and home movers can take advantage of the Government-backed Help to Buy equity loan scheme which enables buyers to purchase a new home with just a 5% deposit. The government provides an equity loan of up to 20% of the purchase price, meaning buyers only need to secure a mortgage for the remaining 75%. Alongside Help to Buy, no stamp duty is applicable on homes under £500,000 due to the stamp duty holiday recently announced by the Government, making this a prime window of opportunity to buy at Wintringham.
For those with a property to sell, Cala offers its part exchange service, which means there is no need to go through the process of selling on the open market. The housebuilder acts as a cash buyer, saving on estate agents fees and providing peace of mind that a purchaser’s sale will complete ready for them to move into their new home.
Homebuyers who reserve a Cala property before 13th September will also receive £1,000 in John Lewis vouchers to help them furnish their new home.
Glenn Copper, Sales and Marketing Director for Cala Homes North Home Counties, said: “We are delighted to be leading the way in bringing forward the first showhomes at Wintringham. Cala has a strong track record in creating high quality developments across Cambridgeshire, but being part of a brand new community such as this is incredibly exciting.
“We’ve worked closely with master developers Urban & Civic on a shared vision for a vibrant and sustainable new community where people can live, work, visit, and the opening of our showhomes and release of the first properties is an important milestone in bringing that vision to life.
“Off-plan reservations have already been made following our recent preview event and we expect a high level of interest in our homes here to continue. We look forward to welcoming our first purchasers who will become the community pioneers of Wintringham.”
Joe Dawson, senior development manager at Urban&Civic, said: “It is fantastic to see Cala Homes reach this milestone at Wintringham, giving house hunters a chance to view the quality build and design Cala are known for. With St Neots on its doorstep, Wintringham is ideally placed for those working in the area and further afield. We look forward to bringing many more homes and amenities to Wintringham with Cala and our other partners, helping us realise the vision created by Urban&Civic and Huntingdonshire District Council for a thriving new community to live and work.”
