Final Chance For Help To Buy At Cambridge Development

There are just a few days left to utilise the government’s Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme, and Rubicon at Knights Park provides Cambridge homebuyers with a superb opportunity to secure a stunning new home with only a 5% deposit and pay no Stamp Duty. 

Located within the award-winning development of Knights Park in Eddington, Rubicon is host to a range of expertly designed homes and bespoke co-working spaces delivered by five-star housebuilder The Hill Group. The development is now 75% sold, with only five studios in the first building remaining, purchasers should act now and book their tour of a brand new studio show apartment and experience what this exciting new collection of homes has to offer.

Rebecca Littler, group sales and marketing director at The Hill Group, comments: “Rubicon is the latest chapter for one of our most successful developments, Knights Park. There is still time for buyers to purchase one of the stunning studio apartments available with Help to Buy and be in their new home in time for Christmas, while also taking advantage of the government’s recent change to the Stamp Duty allowance. This is an unmissable opportunity for first time buyers to ensure they secure the savings available to them while they can and we urge prospective buyers to book their visit as soon as possible.”

Ideal for homebuyers who are keen to live a sustainable lifestyle, the homes at Rubicon echo the award-winning green credentials of the wider Knights Park development. Homes include a range of energy saving features including underfloor heating throughout every apartment, a district heating system metered to every home and highly efficient industrial style triple glazed windows which ensure lower energy bills for residents. Conceived by the University of Cambridge, the vibrant new neighbourhood of Eddington is perfectly poised to enjoy greener modes of travel with its own network of new cycling and pedestrian routes. Cambridge city centre is a 12-minute cycle ride away and provides a haven of shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as the popular market square and the Grand Arcade Shopping Centre, which is home to more than 60 leading retailers. 

Buyers here have plenty of opportunity to keep active and enjoy the outdoors, thanks to the 123 acres of green open space that surrounds the development. Eddington has plenty to offer its residents with its own community centre ‘Storey’s Field Centre’, a few minutes’ walk from Rubicon. A local sports pitch, running track and tennis courts are also a short stroll from the development, and for keen gardeners, Eddington also benefits from its very own allotments. The wider community offers a range of amenities including a supermarket, shops, a public square and the new Hyatt and Locke Hotel which boasts a chic restaurant and bar.

These generously sized apartments provide spacious layouts, and Rubicon also features a series of multi-functional co-working spaces, ideal for those who need to work remotely without losing space at home, and who want to do so in a friendly collaborative environment. 

These include private work areas for calls or to focus without any distractions, and larger open spaces that offer more of a social aspect whilst also providing opportunities for professionals to engage and connect. Contemporary and functional furniture, lush planting and lighting, have all been carefully considered in the design of these spaces, creating areas that are comfortable to work in that offer sociability and stimulation when required.

For those needing to commute, a regular bus service, only a short stroll away from the development, offers a car-free mode of travel into and around Cambridge. For those who need swift travel into London, Cambridge train station is less than a 20-minute cycle ride away and provides services into Kings Cross in under an hour or Liverpool Street in just over an hour. For international travel, Stansted Airport is just a 30-minute train journey away.
