TAKE A ROAM FROM YOUR NEW HOME WITH BEDFORDSHIRE DEVELOPER’S DOOR-IENTEERING GUIDE

Now welcoming new residents from near and far, Sales Advisers at David Wilson Homes’ new Stotfold Park development have put together a Door-ienteering Guide to help its homeowners get to know what’s on their doorstep.

Stotfold Park, located in the south east of Bedfordshire close to the border with Hertfordshire, is comprised of just 78 homes and sits amongst beautiful open space and countryside.

As people begin to settle into their new homes, the guide has been developed as a way to inform new occupants of the area’s history and encourage them to explore their surroundings.

The Taylors Road development has a number of four and five bedroom homes currently available which are ideal for a range of buyers including working professionals and growing families.

With Covid-19 continuing to limit holidaying abroad, this year may be the perfect opportunity for residents to take an adventure around their new home town.

Senior Sales Adviser Daniel is now an expert of Stotfold Park, and is spreading his knowledge of the local area to help residents get to know their new home.

Green open space on your doorstep

Several reviews have found an association between nature and positive emotions, evidence also shows links between greener living environment and higher life satisfaction, reduced mental distress and strong evidence of improved self-rated mental health.

Daniel said: “Residents of Stotfold will be thrilled with the amount of green space they have access to. With a range of parks, rivers and dedicated country walks right on the doorstep, this development is perfect for those looking for a slice of the country.

“Alongside this, there is a wealth of countryside activities in the neighbouring areas. Less than a mile away is Stotfold Watermill and Nature Reserve, which offers beautiful countryside walks and educational facilities.

“Less than five miles away is Letchworth Garden City, which is the world’s first garden city and is comprised of a number of neighbouring villages with beautiful walks and open spaces between. This city offers a number of amenities and outdoors activities that can be enjoyed throughout the year.”

Get to know your local history

With the pandemic limiting our ability to explore the culture of places abroad, now might be the ideal time to get to know your new home town, and the residents who settled here before you.

“New residents of Stotfold Park may be interested in learning more about the Watermill, the only working mill left in Stotfold. The Watermill is currently open to the public with a tea room and is run by the Stotfold Mill Preservation Trust.

“Residents may also want to take a short drive into the nearby market town of Hitchin, where they can visit the North Hertfordshire Museum. Here they can learn more about the history of the area through the three galleries containing permanent exhibitions, as well as enjoy what’s on in the two temporary exhibition spaces,” Daniel added.

A shopper’s dream

Having been forced to shop online for much of the past year, many people will be excited to get out and do some physical bargain hunting, and Stotfold is the perfect place for it. Alongside this, it is more important than ever to support your local businesses.

Daniel said: “Stotfold itself is home to a number of amenities including a supermarket, and just a short drive away Letchworth Garden City which homes a fine mix of independent stores, national chains, all within a pedestrian-friendly town centre. Residents may also want to explore the popular monthly Farmers’ Market in Letchworth.”

Commuting is a breeze

With lockdown restrictions beginning to ease, many people will soon be returning to their offices. Stotfold Park is well located to give residents a sense of country living without sacrificing its commuter links to surrounding towns and cities.

Daniel added: “There’s no doubt the development is going to be a hit with working professionals due to its location. Biggleswade, Letchworth Garden City, Stevenage and Bedford are all easily accessible by road. As well as this, less than three miles away is Arlesey Train Station, where residents can travel to London St Pancras in less than 40 minutes.”

Jason Hearn, Sales Director at David Wilson Homes South Midlands, said: “As Daniel has shown, Stotfold Park is perfectly located for a wide variety of homebuyers.

“We’ve already seen a lot of interest in the development, so we recommend eager homebuyers to get in touch with our Sales Advisers and book an appointment to find out more.”

Stotfold Park now only has four and five bedroom homes available, with less than 10 homes remaining.
