New affordable homes set for release in Chatteris

Home seekers in Chatteris will have a greater scope of choice following to the forthcoming release of Shared Ownership properties in the Cambridgeshire market town.

Leading housing association Platform Home Ownership will deliver a collection of 21 two- and three-bedroom semi-detached and detached homes at Fenview Gardens, through the affordable scheme, which will be available to reserve in the coming months.

Set within the quaint market town of Chatteris, the brand-new development, built in partnership with Snowdon Homes, will combine quality, practicality and sustainability with the tight-knit community feel, great amenities and a safe, relaxed environment for which the area is known.

Fenview Gardens will open the door to the property ladder for many, with first-time buyers, young families and more purchasing a share of their home and paying rent on the remainder.

Access to home ownership is greater, as deposits and mortgages are calculated against that share and not the full market value, and residents can increase that owned share to 100 per cent through Staircasing, eliminating rental payments entirely.

Each home at Fenview Gardens has been thoughtfully planned for modern lifestyles, with practical layouts, contemporary design and energy-efficient features to help reduce running costs.

Clare Summerhayes, Senior Sales Consultant at Platform, said: “Fenview Gardens will give people in Cambridgeshire the opportunity to buy a high-quality, energy-efficient property at an affordable price.

“With safety, amenities and great schools all on the doorstep, Chatteris is the ideal destination for families looking for their dream new home, so we expect these properties to be very popular.

“I’d encourage anybody interested to register their interest now to be the first to hear when the homes are released.”

Those moving in will benefit from strong transport connections. Chatteris sits close to the A141 and A142, providing links around the county, with the A1 and A47 ensuring easy access across the region and the nearest rail links located in nearby March, offering onward connections to Cambridge and Peterborough. London Stansted is around 39 minutes away.

For leisure time, Chatteris punches well above its size, with cosy pubs, restaurants, takeaways and cafes, two large supermarkets, a library, community centre, leisure centre and several play parks, alongside beautiful green spaces to explore.

Chatteris has eight schools in the surrounding area, both primary and secondary, all of which are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, including Kingsfield Primary School and Cromwell Community College.

John Leydon, Group Managing Director at Snowdon Homes, said: “It’s our privilege to be working with Platform to deliver quality homes for the people of Chatteris, particularly so through affordable means in a time of economic uncertainty.

“We pride ourselves on not only producing homes that stand the test of time, provide comfort, happiness, safety and security, but also cultivating communities where people are proud to live.

“It’s those shared values with Platform that make partnerships like these so special. We cannot wait to see the development thriving from the first people moving in through to completion.”
