Whitehill Gardens

Whitehill Gardens, Godmanchester

Development Overview

Whitehill Gardens is a new build development of 59 contemporary homes by Bellway Homes, an FTSE 250 housebuilder with a track record of achieving 5-star builder status from the Home Builders Federation for the ninth consecutive year, reflecting that over 90% of customers would recommend them to a friend. Located on London Road in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire (PE29 2LQ), the development offers an elegant collection of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom new build homes. The scheme comprises 35 properties for private sale and 24 designated as affordable housing, designed to serve a diverse range of buyers, from first-time buyers and families to downsizers.

Property Details

The development features a versatile mix of property types, including two-bedroom bungalows, as well as detached and semi-detached two, three, and four-bedroom houses, all designed with a focus on space, comfort, and energy efficiency. Homes incorporate traditional architectural features, such as black weatherboarding, intended to blend into the semi-rural Cambridgeshire setting.

An example of the available styles is 'The Pargeter,' a modern four-bedroom detached family home. This house type offers an open-plan kitchen, family, and dining area, a dual-aspect living room, a dedicated snug, a separate utility room, and an en-suite to the principal bedroom. All new build homes at Whitehill Gardens are provided with a 10-year warranty for buyer assurance.
