Situated under four miles from the county town of Bedford, just off the A600, Heritage Green is ideally located for modern living. Prices start from as little as £79,996 with FirstBuy, the government-approved equity loan scheme, where you pay from 80% but own 100% of your beautiful new home. This historic area is well known as home to the Cardington Airship Works, founded by Short brothers during World War I.
Heritage Green was formally opened by The Mayor of Bedford, Mr Dave Hodgson, who was accompanied by Councillor Sarah-Jayne Holland, Portfolio Holder for Community and Regulatory Services at Bedford Borough Council. Also in attendance was Joanne Hill, a volunteer from KPH’s nominated charity, Help for Heroes*. Mr Hodgson and Joanne marked the occasion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Kier Partnership Homes’ managing director, Chris King, said in his opening speech:
“I am delighted to welcome our special guests to such an exciting day; especially in these difficult economic times, when there are not so many houses being built. Heritage Green is a particularly good example of a mixed tenure housing development, with a good blend of social and private homes throughout. Out of a total of 53 new homes, 23 will provide affordable housing for the area through Bedford Pilgrims Housing Association (BPHA).
“All homes are built to the eco Code for Sustainable Homes standard Very Good and, as well as providing new homes in a housing market starved of new investment, the development has generated much needed employment in the Bedford area.”
Heritage Green at New Cardington is designed around green open spaces and tree lined avenues, with interconnecting paths and walkways, creating an ideal environment for a modern lifestyle. Bedford station is approximately 3.5 miles from the development, offering a fast and frequent service into London St Pancras station in as little as 43 minutes. Excellent road links from New Cardington provide easy access to the M1 junction 13 and the A1, via the A421. London Luton Airport is less than 30 miles away.
Bedford town centre offers an excellent range of facilities, including the Harpur Shopping Centre and numerous markets. The Aspects Leisure Centre provides entertainment, including a multiscreen cinema and megabowl. For enjoying the great outdoors, nearby Priory Country Park offers over 300 acres of meadows, woodlands and lakes, perfect for walking and cycling.
