Catalyst launches new homes at award-winning development in Princes Risborough

The appeal of a countryside lifestyle shows no sign of slowing down, with recent reports revealing a continued exodus of homebuyers from the capital.*

Demand for spacious homes with private gardens, access to the countryside and within commuting distance of London remains high, with 85% of house hunters putting gardens top of the wish list**, evidenced by the success of Catalyst’s award winning Kite Meadows development in the historic and rural market town of Princes Risborough.

On the 1st and 2nd October, Catalyst will launch the latest collection of 24 two and three bedroom homes with the unveiling of a stylish show home, reopening on Saturday 1st October. Available by appointment only, purchasers are invited to the Sales & Marketing Suite between 10am-5pm to tour both the wider development and show home, with the sales team on hand to answer any questions. Offering a taste of the local area complementary refreshments will be served by local businesses, Graze Delights and Edie’s Bakery, to enjoy while touring the development.

Providing an affordable route onto the Buckinghamshire property ladder, Catalyst is launching 16 three-bedroom and 8 two-bedroom semi-detached homes, all available through Shared Ownership.

Steve Pickering, Head of Sales and Marketing (Counties) at Catalyst, comments: “After the success of our first phase of contemporary houses at Kite Meadows, we’re delighted to be launching the second collection of spacious homes in such a sought-after area, regarded by many as the gateway to the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Providing buyers with a quaint countryside lifestyle, yet a commute of only 37 minutes to London Marylebone, our award-winning development is perfect for families and young couples making the most of flexible working in an idyllic setting.”

Offering sweeping views of the rolling hills and woodlands, the town is full of historic charm, and has been home to a weekly Thursday market since 1888, while the prehistoric 'way-marker' Pudding Stone is set in the town's roundabout.

Homes at Kite Meadows are built to Catalyst’s quality standard. High specification finishes include integrated Zanussi kitchen appliances alongside Symphony kitchen units, modern sanitaryware, and TV points to the lounge, kitchen and all bedrooms. Each home also features a private garden and parking.

Residents at Kite Meadows are well positioned for the area’s array of schools, including Princes Risborough Primary School and the co-educational secondary school, Princes Risborough School, both within walking distance from the development.

The development is just a five-minute drive from Princes Risborough train station where journeys to London Marylebone take just 37 minutes on Chiltern Railways. Residents can also reach the M40 in just 21 minutes by car, and Heathrow Airport in 40 minutes, making it easy to travel across the UK and beyond.

Pricing starts from £97,500 for a 25% share of a two-bedroom home (FMV of £390,000) and £111,250 for a 25% share of a three-bedroom home (FMV£445,000).
