Haddon Peake

Development Overview

Haddon Peake is a new build homes development by Vistry East Anglia (Bovis Homes), forming part of the extensive Great Haddon Wood sustainable urban extension on the southern edge of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire (PE7 3TB). Located off London Road, the development delivers a mixed tenure collection of new build homes, comprising 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom houses and apartments. As an award-winning housebuilder, Bovis Homes holds a 5-star rating for customer satisfaction from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), reflecting a commitment to build quality and service. Phase 1 construction is approximately 85% complete, with the first residents having moved in and the Sales Centre and 'The Yew' show home now open for viewing. The development is designed with a specific focus on biodiversity, incorporating new wildflower and wetland meadow areas, along with tree and hedgerow planting.

Property Details

The new build homes at Haddon Peake feature a range of floorplans to suit diverse requirements. Specific house types include the three-storey 'The Beech' (3-bedroom), and detached family homes such as 'The Maple' and 'The Willow' (both 4-bedroom). Standard features across the range include modern, open-plan kitchen and dining areas, master bedrooms with en-suite facilities, and a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty. For instance, 'The Maple' is a 4-bedroom detached home featuring bi-fold doors leading to the garden, a separate utility room, a first-floor study, and both a garage and two parking spaces. The homes incorporate high energy-efficiency standards, including additional roof and floor insulation, double glazing, and water-saving measures, which the developer advises could result in savings of up to 64% on heating bills compared to older properties.

Location Benefits

Transport Links: The development is strategically positioned for commuters, providing easy access to the A1 (Great North Road). Peterborough Station is approximately a 15-minute drive away, offering direct mainline rail services. From Peterborough, direct journey times to London King's Cross are typically under an hour, with other major cities like Cambridge, Stansted Airport, and Birmingham New Street reachable in under two hours. Local bus routes are scheduled to be supported by a contribution of over £1.6 million towards Public Transport as part of the overall Great Haddon Wood scheme.

Local Amenities and Education: Haddon Peake benefits from proximity to established village amenities. The historic village of Stilton, a 4-minute drive away, offers local inns, while Yaxley, reachable in 5 minutes, provides the Sunny Café, The Farmers, Antonino's Pizzeria, local shops, and a community feel. Major supermarkets, including Tesco and Aldi, are within a 7-minute drive. For education, Stilton Church of England Primary Academy (1.1 miles) and Folksworth CofE Primary School (1.4 miles) are nearby. The wider consortium plan includes future provision for a new primary school, a local centre, playing fields, and a community building.

Practical Information

The new build homes at Haddon Peake are available through both open-market sale and a significant Shared Ownership scheme (via partners like Sage Homes and Home Reach), making it highly accessible for first-time buyers. For example, a 4-bedroom detached house, 'The Maple' (Plot 157), has a full market value of £495,000. Shared Ownership options are available, with a 40% share of a 3-bedroom terraced house starting from £116,000. Current incentives, subject to terms and plot, include the Own New Rate Reducer scheme, Deposit Unlock, and substantial contributions (e.g., up to £20,000 deposit contribution plus upgrades on selected plots). Specific plot pricing, floorplans, and viewing arrangements for the show home ('The Yew') should be confirmed by contacting the developer’s sales team at Haddon Peake.
