Help To Buy Event In Cambridge This Saturday
Posted 16 February 2022 by
Keith OsborneDeveloper Hill – a former WhatHouse? Housebuilder of the Year – is hosting a Help to Buy event at its Timber Works development in Cambridge on Saturday 19 February, giving first-time buyers the chance to learn more about how the government-backed purchase assistance scheme can assist in securing their ideal home there.
Timber Works offers a collection of one- and two-bedroom apartments and is located in a prime position in the heart of central Cambridge. Selected homes are available with the Help to Buy: Equity Loan and will be ready to move into later this year. Using this scheme, first-time buyers only need to raise a 5% deposit to get a step on the property ladder.
With the current phase of apartments in the Cherry Blossom building now over 50% sold, prospective buyers won’t want to miss the chance to come along and visit the sales suite at the event, taking place from 10.00am, to meet the Hill team and find a dream home in this prime location.
Designed around a 0.72-hectare central park that extends the full length of the development, residents here have access to green space on their own doorstep. This generous landscaping will create a haven where residents can meet with neighbours or friends, as well as helping to encourage wildlife and filter the air.
A short walk from the eclectic Mill Road, Timber Works is perfectly positioned for residents to access an array of independent delis, cafes, shops and boutiques as well as community groups. With Beehive Shopping Centre also within walking distance, there are always plenty of places to grab a bite to eat or to do a weekly shop hassle-free. Positioned near to the Chisholm Trail, Cambridge city centre is an easy 11-minute bike ride away and offers a plethora of amenities including restaurants, theatres, cafés and stores.
All of the homes at Timber Works have been finished to a high specification, offering versatile layouts that cater for a variety of lifestyles; from first-time buyers and young couples to growing families and downsizers, there’s a home for everyone. All of the apartments come with a balcony, terrace or winter garden as well as car and bike parking.
There is a range of cycle routes for residents to explore, as well as a variety of local parks. Cambridge University Botanic Gardens is a 15-minute walk or four-minute cycle ride away and is home to 40 acres of gardens and parks, perfect for stretching your legs during the spring and summer months. Those with small children can easily reach Milton Maize, which is just 15-minutes away via car or Partyman World of Play in nine minutes via bike or 10 minutes by car.
Cambridge station is just an eight-minute cycle ride from home and provides convenient connections to London King’s Cross, London Liverpool Street, Peterborough and Brighton. The M11 is a six-mile drive from home providing access to the wider motorway network.
Prices for a one-bedroom apartment at Timber Works start from £344,950, requiring a 5% deposit of £17,248 using Help to Buy. Find out more from Hill.
