Cambridge has seen the second biggest improvement in home affordability in the UK over the past five years as salary growth outpaces house price growth and with such improvement comes an influx of first-time buyers to the vibrant city. Latimer, part of the Clarion Housing Group, is delighted to be launching Capstone Fields, an exclusive collection of two- and three- bedroom homes ideal for those looking to step onto the property ladder, available with the Shared Ownership Scheme.
Located in the historic village of Hardwick, a 20-minute drive from the cultural city of Cambridge, Capstone Fields benefits from beautiful countryside surroundings and excellent links to nearby amenities. Featuring a range of semi- detached and detached houses, each home at Capstone Fields has been designed and built to an extremely high standard, with contemporary and sustainability considerations in mind, such as the use of energy-efficient materials internally and externally.
Jeremy Turnbull, Senior Regional Sales Manager at Latimer commented: “We are delighted to be launching our newest collection of Shared Ownership homes in Cambridge, supporting first-time buyers to purchase their first home without having to sacrifice style, comfort, or location. The brilliant balance of countryside and city living is ideal for today’s flexible lifestyles such as with the rise of hybrid working and the return to socialising. The homes’ designs and layouts reflect the character of the local village with wonderful redbrick exteriors and white framed windows, whilst the interiors offer attractive contemporary style.”
Designed with a blend of seamless layouts and local architecture, the homes accommodate different lifestyles and are sleek throughout. Every home offers versatile interiors adaptable to modern-day living with space for family time, entertaining and working from home. Each property at Capstone Fields offers a spacious kitchen filled with natural light and contemporary appliances and furnishings. Residents can enjoy individually designed worktop units with a fully integrated oven, hob, fridge/freezer and washer/dryer. Modern LED spotlights and triangular under pelmet lighting alongside glossy pearl grey kitchen cabinets follow the modern design of the kitchen encouraging streamlined living.
Bathrooms and en suites benefit from a spacious and airy layout with contemporary white fittings, neutral tiles throughout and chrome towel radiators. Generous bedrooms and expansive living spaces provide areas of comfort and offer a secluded space for quality relaxation time. The homes benefit from landscaped front and back private gardens so homeowners can enjoy their own area of outdoor luxury. All properties have a dedicated parking space with many plots having electric car charging ports encouraging sustainable living.
The wider development has been carefully planned to optimize the rural surroundings, encircled with trees and blossoming plants. The layout of the homes create a wonderful community feel with winding roads connecting the homes to one another and to the main entrance of the development. The neighbourly feel is enhanced further with a gorgeous communal green area where residents can enjoy some fresh air, chat to neighbours and feel safe in their new surroundings.
The local area encompassing Capstone Fields gives residents access to a range of modern-day necessities including supermarkets, a post office and locally run businesses such as The Blue Lion pub, conveniently situated opposite the development. Within the immediate vicinity residents can enjoy leisure facilities, recreational parks and other eateries and for families with young children there are multiple highly acclaimed schools in the area. For more excellent amenities, residents can easily reach central Cambridge in 20 minutes via car or use the Madingley Road Park & Ride which is a short 17-minute cycle away.
For those regularly commuting to the Capital, the travel links from nearby Cambridge Station are frequent and easily accessible with London King Cross Station being just a 49-minute train ride away. For international travel, London Stanstead airport is half an hour away by car.
