Abbot Walk

Development Overview

Abbot Walk is a new build homes development by Persimmon Homes, situated on Doddington Road in the semi-rural town of Chatteris, Cambridgeshire (PE16 6UA). The development offers a diverse mix of energy-efficient two, three, four, and five-bedroom properties, catering to first-time buyers, families, and downsizers. Available property types are predominantly detached and semi-detached new builds.

Prices for these new homes currently range from a starting point of approximately £212,000 up to £435,000 for the larger family dwellings. As of recent listings, there were approximately 17 homes available, with a breakdown including several two-bedroom units, nine three-bedroom units, seven four-bedroom units, and one five-bedroom unit. The development is strategically located on the edge of Chatteris, providing a balance between peaceful, open-countryside access and the convenience of local town amenities.

Property Details

The Abbot Walk development offers a variety of practical and modern layouts across its range of 2-bed to 5-bed houses. For example, a three-bedroom semi-detached house, such as the 'Saunton' house type, is a three-storey home featuring an open-plan kitchen/dining room, a separate living room, a downstairs WC, and three storage cupboards. The top floor is dedicated to the main bedroom, which includes an en-suite bathroom. Floor plans for specific house types include dimensions such as a Kitchen/Dining room of 2.54m x 3.84m (8ft 4in x 12ft 7in) and a Living room of 4.34m x 3.48m (14ft 2in x 11ft 5in). All properties include a 10-year warranty, which is standard for new build homes.

Potential buyers should note that Persimmon Homes operates at the volume end of the market, and while the company is one of the largest UK housebuilders, reviews regarding build quality and post-completion customer service across its sites have been mixed. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission an independent snagging inspection prior to legal completion.
