Barratt Homes Romans' Edge

Development Overview

Romans' Edge is a significant new build homes development by Barratt Homes, located off Bearscroft Lane in the historic market town of Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire (PE29 2NF). The site is part of a larger, established community project now reaching its final phase of completion, demonstrating proven local demand and a mature neighbourhood environment. Barratt Homes, part of Barratt Developments PLC, holds an established reputation as a 5 Star Housebuilder (awarded for 15 consecutive years, based on the HBF's national new homes survey), ensuring a focus on build quality and customer service.

The development has successfully offered a range of new build properties, primarily consisting of three, four, and five-bedroom detached and semi-detached houses. Available property types have included the four-bedroom 'Radleigh' detached house, featuring an en-suite main bedroom and an open-plan kitchen/dining/family area with French doors to the garden. While new releases are extremely limited as the development concludes, previous new property prices for a range of house types fell approximately between £299,995 and £505,995 (based on earlier phases). Interested buyers must contact the sales office to check the scarce remaining availability and current pricing on the final plots, which have recently focused on energy-efficient three-bedroom homes.

Location Benefits

Romans' Edge is situated on the tranquil edge of Godmanchester, offering direct access to open countryside walks while maintaining excellent commuter links. Road connections are a major asset, with quick access to the recently upgraded A14, positioning Huntingdon just 3 miles away and Cambridge city centre approximately 18.2 miles away. The location is also highly convenient for travel to the North and South, with the A1 and A14 allowing travel to both Cambridge and Peterborough in under half an hour by car.

For rail commuters, Huntingdon Train Station is a short drive away, providing frequent services with journey times to London King's Cross in under one hour on the East Coast Main Line.

Local amenities are within walking distance, catering to family and daily needs. The highly regarded Godmanchester Bridge Academy Primary School (Ofsted-rated 'Good') is located on the development's doorstep, a key feature for families. The traditional town centre of Godmanchester provides essential services, including a doctor's surgery, post office, butchers, a Co-operative supermarket, and a selection of independent shops, pubs, and restaurants.

Practical Information

The development is now in its final phase, with the majority of homes sold and residents established. Potential buyers should note that current availability is exceptionally low. The properties benefit from a new build warranty and modern energy efficiency standards. House specifications typically include features such as a dedicated single detached garage, driveway parking, and an EV charger point on four-bedroom house types like the 'Radleigh'. For current pricing on the final available plots and to arrange a viewing appointment, which is typically required, prospective buyers should contact Barratt Homes directly.
