Nestled in the heart of leafy St Neots, 18 miles west of Cambridge, Hooper’s Green is an exciting new development being delivered by L&Q – set to launch for the first time on 15th April. The first release will offer an attractive collection of three-bedroom houses and a two-bedroom apartment, all available through Shared Ownership.
Comprising a total of 29 homes, Hooper’s Green has been designed to seamlessly blend with the surrounding area and will create an affordable gateway to the vibrant Love’s Farm neighbourhood, which is already home to a new primary school, green spaces, local facilities and a transport interchange.
Claire Brenlund, Sales and Marketing Director at L&Q, comments, “Located in the southwest corner of Cambridgeshire, along the banks of the River Great Ouse, St Neots is the county’s largest and fastest growing town, and we’ve seen increasing numbers of buyers flocking to the area for its picturesque location, buzzing high street and excellent transport connections by train and by road.”
“Catering to this growing demand for homes in the area, we’re pleased to be launching a range of house types at Hooper’s Green which will be suitable for an array of different buyers – from solo purchasers to growing families and young professionals. New residents will benefit from the charm of a historic market town within a neighbourhood that is being created as a natural extension of the existing community in St Neots.”
L&Q’s homes at Hooper’s Green will offer light, bright open-plan interiors throughout. Stylish kitchens will be complete with integrated appliances, including an oven, hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine – while also offering plenty of counter space and storage. Contemporary bathrooms will feature sleek sanitaryware and well-proportioned bedrooms will offer ample storage space and built-in wardrobes in the master bedroom. Most homes will be complete with a garden and all homes will have allocated parking. In addition, all properties at Hooper’s Green are being constructed with pioneering new timber frames, promising residents more efficient homes and significantly lower energy bills.*
Oozing character and charm, the beautiful riverside market town of St Neots has a fascinating history which dates back over 1,000 years, offering new buyers the perfect blend between a relaxed village and a bustling town. An idyllic setting in the Cambridgeshire countryside, Hooper’s Green is located close to the Riverside Park and Paxton Pits Nature Reserve in Little Paxton, which is made up of 75 hectares of gravel pits, meadows, scrub and woodland next to the River Great Ouse. Perfect for weekend visits, the area has a wealth of wildlife to enjoy all year round, and a network of trails to explore.
For day trips, residents can visit the nearby cultural hub of Cambridge to enjoy punting down the river, shopping in The Grand Arcade or a relaxed meal in one of the city’s many restaurants. Closer to home, buyers at Hooper’s Green will also benefit from a range of future amenities situated just across the road in Wintringham’s Civic Square. The town centre of St Neots itself offers a lively shopping experience with several independent shops and boutiques as well as an array of restaurants, pubs, cafes and a bi-weekly farmers’ market.
For parents with school-age children, there are over 20 primary and secondary schools in the near vicinity. The neighbourhood is already home to Wintringham Primary Academy, which benefits from a large playground and playing field, a wetland area and a grove in the centre of the school. A second primary school in Wintringham will also be built in a later phase of the development.
A five-minute walk from St Neots Station, Hooper’s Green is ideally situated for commuters, with journeys into London King’s Cross taking less than an hour. By road, the A428 links the town directly to Cambridge which is only just 19 miles away and joins the A14 for visitors from East Anglia. The Midlands and many other parts of the country are accessible within a two- or three-hour drive.
Shared Ownership prices for L&Q’s new homes start from £93,625 for a 35% share of a two-bedroom apartment (FMV: £267,500) and from £121,625 for a 35% share of a three-bedroom house (FMV: £347,500).
