Preview Of Hertfordshire Development Ahead Of Summer Launch

Cala Homes North Home Counties has revealed further details surrounding its newest development in Hertfordshire – situated a stone’s throw away from the supposed location which inspired Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. 

Launching summer 2022, the 68-home Limsi Grove development is nestled in a conservation area, and once complete, will consist of three-, four- and five-bedroom detached homes, ranging in size from 1,111 to 2,357 sq. ft.  

Of the 68-homes, 40% will be provided as much-needed affordable homes for rental and shared equity tenures through Paradigm Housing, helping to meet Hertford's local housing need.  

With the homes within walking distance of the town centre, Cala has utilised a high-quality palette of materials in the build - including stock brick - helping to complement the aesthetic and characteristics of the town’s existing architecture. 

Ahead of Cala launching its four-bedroom Nessvale and Osmore show homes for viewings later this summer, the developer has released computer generated images to show the external design of the properties. Homes will be available to move into from this autumn, with guide prices starting in the region of £749,950 for a three-bedroom detached property. 

Further reflecting Limsi Grove’s countryside surroundings, the homebuilder will transform the 11-acre plot by incorporating extensive landscaping in the open spaces surrounding the development, through the planting of native trees, shrubs and hedges. 5.4 acres of land to the west, leading down to Hagsdell Stream, is to be retained as a wildlife area as part of the surrounding green belt and one of Hertford’s ‘Green Fingers’. 

Cala has announced it will also provide £1.3m of community support, set to cover improvements to local football and cricket pitches, the creation of grassland and allotments, a community bursary fund, support for nearby schools and off-site improvements for local leisure facilities, swimming pools and youth centres.  

Glenn Copper, sales and marketing director for Cala Homes North Home Counties, says: “Hertford is a prime location to build new homes, thanks to the close proximity of the town centre, the A10, and being within a commutable distance of London. The town also has a great choice of primary and secondary schools on Limsi Grove’s doorstep, including the Ofsted rated ‘outstanding’ Simon Balle All-Through School. Cala has a strong track record in delivering aspirational new homes across the region, and the new homes at Limsi Grove are no exception. The interior of the homes and the landscaping of the development are both complimentary to their broader surroundings; it really does offer the best of both town and country. With increased demand for new homes in the area, we’re expecting Limsi Grove to be exceptionally popular, so we would encourage anyone considering a move to register their interest for more information.”
