Tucked away in the serene county of Essex is the picturesque village of Finchingfield, often regarded as one of England’s most photographed hamlets. Its quaint charm is unmistakable, with sprawling green fields, historic landmarks like the Grade II listed windmill, and the calming presence of the village’s central duck pond. But beyond the visual allure of postcard-perfect sights, the village is poised to offer potential homeowners a unique blend of history, sustainability, and modern living.
Come 6th October, Peabody New Homes is set to unveil an exclusive collection of just six Shared Ownership homes at Bardfield Meadows. Nestled amidst the natural beauty of Finchingfield, these homes aren’t merely structures; they’re a testament to harmonious living, where the past’s charm meets the comforts of the future.
A Home Tailored to Modern Desires
Each property at Bardfield Meadows, whether a two or three-bedroom home, mirrors the exquisite surroundings. Architecturally, they echo the elegance of Finchingfield’s iconic facades. Internally, they offer a contemporary haven for residents. The kitchens exude modern sophistication with symphony kitchen cabinet units, enhanced by high-end Hotpoint and Zanussi appliances. And for those moments of relaxation, the bathrooms provide a blend of chic sanitaryware and subtle tiling.
Every inch of Bardfield Meadows, down to the private gardens landscaped for alfresco dining or safe children’s play, has been meticulously designed to offer residents the best of both worlds. Here, the rustic beauty of Essex meets modern luxury.
A Sustainable Vision
Embodying the spirit of the surrounding Conservation Area, Bardfield Meadows isn’t just about beautiful homes. It’s a commitment to sustainability. The development promises an increase in biodiversity, enhanced by wildflower planting and the addition of new trees. These homes are not only insulated well but also equipped with low-carbon air source heat pumps, ensuring warmth and comfort through the seasons.
The Perks of Living in Essex and Shared Ownership
Essex, with its rich tapestry of history, culture, and nature, offers residents a lifestyle that’s both enriching and convenient. The much-photographed Lavender Field of Finchingfield, with its mesmerising hues of purple, is a testament to the area’s natural beauty. Other attractions like Hoppit Mead Local Nature Reserve and Braintree & Bocking Public Gardens further underscore the region’s appeal.
While the charms of Essex are undeniable, the concept of Shared Ownership adds another layer of attraction for potential homeowners. It offers an accessible route to homeownership, allowing individuals to buy a share of a property and pay rent on the remaining share. Over time, residents can increase their ownership, making it an ideal solution for those who wish to step onto the property ladder in a manageable and affordable way.
Life in Finchingfield
Living in Finchingfield goes beyond owning a home; it’s about being part of a thriving community. The village boasts an array of amenities, from charming country pubs and tearooms to the Italian delights of Zafra Pasta Bar & Grill. The proximity to Braintree Village Outlet ensures that retail therapy is never too far away. And for families, the presence of excellent schools like St John the Baptist CofE Primary Academy and Hedingham School and Sixth Form makes it an ideal locale.
Accessibility is also a prime advantage. Whether commuting to London or Cambridge, Bardfield Meadows offers impeccable connectivity. Braintree train station, a mere 23-minute car ride away, ensures that London Liverpool Street is accessible in just over an hour. And for international escapades, airports like London Stanstead remain within easy reach.
Bardfield Meadows is more than a residential development; it’s a promise of a life where history, nature, and modern conveniences coalesce seamlessly. For those intrigued by the prospect of such harmonious living, further details await at Peabody New Homes.
