Admired for its timeless architecture, world-famous academia, idyllic cobbled streets and beautiful green spaces lining the River Cam – it is little wonder why the city of Cambridge has been named as one of the most desirable cities to live in the UK.[1] Homebuyers who aspire to own a home in this sought-after location will be pleased to learn about the new show home unveiled at Capstone Fields by multi-award-winning housebuilder The Hill Group, in partnership with Latimer by Clarion Housing Group. Nestled within the charming village of Hardwick, the exquisite five-bedroom show home is an elegant example of the stunning collection of two to five-bedroom homes within this flourishing new community.

Surrounded by picturesque countryside, Capstone Fields offers a wonderful fusion of village living with Cambridge’s vibrant city centre on the doorstep. Hardwick has everything you could need from a village location; well-regarded schools, a play park, a village shop, a post office, a sports and social club and The Blue Lion gastropub and restaurant, – which serves up a delicious range of food and drink – making this a perfect location for families seeking a stylishly distinct home that offers an inclusive community.

Helen Fewster, Design Director at Suna Interior Design comments: “When designing the new show home at Capstone Fields we were heavily inspired by the close proximity to Cambridge and the village lifestyle on offer to the residents. It was clear from the size of the property that we needed to design a scheme that would appeal to a family. We chose a neutral, calm palette to reflect the semi-rural surroundings, providing a tranquil backdrop and a warm and welcoming feel. To add contrast we considered texture, decorative wallpapers and mixed timber tones throughout the many different rooms. It was important to get the right balance of a contemporary interior alongside warm, lavish accents to reflect the abundant lifestyle provided by such a generous family home.”

Designed with family living in mind, the five-bedroom Stockenden show home exudes a luxurious specification complemented by generously-sized living spaces that cater for every member of the household. A superb open-plan kitchen/dining/family room comprises sleek and contemporary features and direct access out to a sizeable rear garden. A breakfast bar offers an additional space to the dining area and still leaves plenty of room for a relaxing lounge area and a fantastic entertaining space. A large living room with French doors onto the garden provides an additional space to sit and unwind, and the study makes a great home office or games/TV room. A separate utility room with direct side access is ideal for families with younger children and ensures the rest of the home is kept clutter-free. A downstairs cloakroom and WC complete the ground floor. Built using high-quality energy-efficient materials, all homes feature underfloor heating, Amtico Spacia flooring on the ground floor, high-efficiency double-glazed UPVC windows, and selected homes feature PV solar panels – helping to keep residents’ energy bills low.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom features an elegant layout with a cleverly defined dressing area, fitted wardrobes, and a dedicated en suite. The home has three more double bedrooms, two of which have en suites, and a single bedroom. A stylish family bathroom comprises a heated towel radiator and feature mirror cabinets. A double storage cupboard on the landing completes this floor.

The surrounding landscape at Capstone Fields has been given just as much consideration as the homes. Existing mature hedgerows have been conserved to encourage wildlife, and there is communal green open space that features a wildflower meadow and community woodland, as well as a children’s play area, creating attractive outdoor spaces where neighbours can come together. Trees are being planted along the streets and existing public footpaths have been improved to link up with the village and countryside beyond.

Ideal for growing families, Capstone Fields is well located for access to a good choice of schools. A short walk away is Ofsted-rated Outstanding Hardwick Pre-School and Hardwick Community Primary School, which is Ofsted-rated Good. While for secondary education, Comberton Village College is the catchment school and is also rated Outstanding. For those choosing to go down the independent school route, the Perse School in Cambridge is well-renowned and in a city that is globally famous for academic excellence.

Residents have an excellent choice of transport links close by, including ample opportunity for two-wheel commutes. Central Cambridge is just 7 miles away via the Madingley Road Park & Ride or 17 minutes by bicycle.. For travel further afield, London is just a 49 minute train ride from Cambridge station. For summer getaways or business trips, Stansted Airport is 30 minutes away by train or 34 minutes away via the M11.
