Feature Development – Kite Meadows, Princes Risborough

Kite Meadows, the Catalyst development on the outskirts on the Buckinghamshire market town of Princes Risborough, still offers an opportunity to swap urban life for a contemporary house on the doorstep of delightful countryside.

This development offers a range of four- and five-bedroom, three-storey house types that combine modern architectural style with impressively spacious interiors and an excellent standard specification. These properties are all for private sale but selected plots currently come with the offer, subject to terms and conditions, of Catalyst’s Assisted Move scheme, a £15,000 deposit contribution and £1,000 towards legal fees. With homes ready to move into here, it is still possible to make the most of the Stamp Duty holiday, currently scheduled to end on completions by 30 June 2021.

These home are only a mile away from Princes Risborough’s high street, which offers a good range of independent shops and national brands in addition to a range of useful amenities and a variety of places to eat and drink. There are plenty of heritage buildings here that reflect the town’s history, which pre-dates the Domesday Book.

The town sits on the northern edge of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and from the street and some of the properties here it is possible to enjoy the landscape within only a few minutes’ drive from home.

For those that commute into London, you can travel by train from Princes Risborough train station to London Marylebone in as little as 39 minutes. The nearby towns of High Wycombe and Aylesbury both offer both a wider range of retail and leisure facilities as well as frequent fast rail services into the capital and out to the likes of Oxford, Banbury, Warwick and Birmingham. By car, junction 6 of the M40 can be reached in 15 minutes where you can head north towards Birmingham or south towards London.

Whether travelling near or far, a home at Kite Meadows makes an excellent base.

The two fully dressed show homes, ‘The Chartridge’ and ‘The Ashendon’, are both examples of the house types still available.

‘The Chartridge’ is available on Plot 17 and Plot 18, both priced at £550,000. This terrace home type, with living space totalling 1,432 sq ft, comes with an adjoining single garage. The ground floor is dominated by an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, which has French doors to the garden. There’s a downstairs WC and under-stairs storage. Off the first-floor landing are the family bathroom, another very handy storage space and three-bedrooms: Bedroom two comes with fitted wardrobes and a Juliet balcony, bedroom three is a single room which would also make a great home office or hobby room, and bedroom four is a dual-aspect double room that would be equally good as a playroom or studio. The top floor is dedicated to the large master bedroom which comes with its own balcony, fitted wardrobes and an en suite that has the bonus of a door to its own large storage area.

There’s a current special deal on offer on Plot 18, but you’ll have to be quick. Reserve this property by Friday 7 May to receive £10,000 off the asking price, £10,000 deposit contribution and £1,000 towards your legal costs.

‘The Ashendon’ is for sale on Plot 43 and Plot 44, both priced at £575,000, and it offers 1,335 sq ft of living space. This detached house comes with a single detached garage and driveway. The ground floor is very similar to ‘The Chartridge’, with the hub of the home a spacious, open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with French doors to the private garden. The family bathroom is on the first floor, as is bedroom two, with en suite, Juliet balcony and fitted wardrobes, bedroom three (a double), bedroom four/home office and another storage cupboard. The top floor has the en suite master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a private balcony. Off the landing is yet another generous storage cupboard.
