Doors Open To Two New Show Homes In Hardwick
First-time buyers in Cambridgeshire can benefit from the Help to Buy: Equity Loan when purchasing one of selected properties at Capstone Fields in the village of Hardwick, where two new show homes have been unveiled.
A partnership development between The Hill Group and Latimer, Capstone Fields is a collection of houses surrounded by tranquil countryside located only seven miles from Cambridge. It offers an impressive range of two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes, catering for a range of lifestyles.
Help to Buy provides an opportunity to purchase with a 5% deposit, as well as paying no Stamp Duty. What’s more, Hill is also offering to pay up to £1,000 in legal fees (terms and conditions apply).
Rebecca Littler, group sales and marketing director at The Hill Group, commented: “We are passionate about providing beautiful homes that are matchless, in both location and specification, and Capstone Fields is no exception. In partnership with Latimer by Clarion Group, we are thrilled to have two stunning new show homes available for prospective purchasers to view. For first-time buyers, the availability of the Help to Buy scheme presents a great opportunity to purchase a beautiful new two-bedroom home with a 5% deposit before the scheme draws to a close later this year. We urge interested buyers to book their viewing as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.”
The architecture at Capstone Fields uses red or buff brick exteriors, traditional style windows and pitched roofs, giving a welcoming feel and seamlessly blending with the local setting. Inside, bright, light-filled layouts are complemented by a calming and luxurious internal specification. Spacious kitchen/dining areas feature matt-finish Shaker-style units in a choice of colours with sleek Caesarstone worktops and a full range of integrated premium brand appliances. Contemporary bathrooms and en suites include heated towel radiators, built-in cabinets, and Amtico underfloor heating on the ground floor.
Each home has its own private enclosed rear garden – providing the perfect place to relax outdoors and double doors open out from the kitchen/dining area onto the garden, ideal for indoor/outdoor entertaining. Every property has been built to a high standard of energy efficiency, helping to keep utility bills lower.
The surrounding landscape has been given just as much consideration as the homes. Existing mature hedgerows have been conserved to encourage wildlife, and there is communal green open space that will include a wildflower meadow and community woodland, as well as a children’s play area, creating outdoor spaces where neighbours can come together. Trees are being planted along the streets while existing public footpaths have been improved to link this new development to the village, the surrounding countryside and beyond.
Capstone Fields is well located for access to a good choice of schools. A short walk away, Hardwick Pre-School has an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating and Hardwick Community Primary School is rated ‘Good’, while for secondary education, Comberton Village College is the catchment school and is also rated ‘Outstanding’. For those choosing to go down the independent school route, the Perse School in Cambridge is well renowned in a city that is globally famous for academic excellence.
The local sports and social club plays host to regular village events. Sports pitches, play park and the popular Blue Lion pub also make Hardwick somewhere that welcomes all the family. From here, central Cambridge is seven miles east, most easily reached via the Madingley Road Park & Ride which can also be reached by bicycle in just 17 minutes. For travel further afield, London is just a 49-minute train ride from Cambridge station.
Prices at Capstone Fields start from £379,950 for a two-bedroom house. Find out more from Hill.
