When it comes to knowing what a family wants in their brand-new home, the Calitri family are best placed to design, build and deliver that home.
The superbly-situated hamlet of Chesterton is the latest location for Chesterton-based family-run City Builders UK to offer a small selection of stone-built, detached luxury homes and who better than the Calitri family to construct them. Frank Calitri has 4 sons and daughters and 3 grandchildren and knows what a family wants in a home.
“Our Italian heritage means that our lives revolve around the family” said Frank, “and over the years, we’ve learnt what a family wants from a home and it’s in finding that balance between privacy and interaction and comfort.”
At Chesterton, on the western outskirts of Peterborough, Manor Gardens will be an exclusively private development set back from the Oundle Road and approached through a tree-lined avenue. Its secluded and rural location, in the shadow of St Michael’s Church, belies the fact that it’s only 200m from the A1 junction and less than a kilometer from Peterborough. This location offers fast access to Cambridge, Oundle, Stamford and the A14 at Thrapston. Situated off a quiet backroad between Alwalton and Elton, Manor Gardens can be found in the centre of the hamlet adjacent to Manor Farm.
The first five detached homes, set around their own private cul-de-sac, are now under construction with two homes already reserved. Home 9, the Lord Arthur, has now been released for sale and offers five bedrooms, two with an en suite shower room, a spacious through-Lounge and a vast Family Room incorporating an eating area, a luxuriously-fitted Kitchen and a Utility Room. The home come with a detached double garage including remote-controlled doors, power and light and two additional parking spaces.
“The Family Room is the social hub of the home” said Frank, “somewhere for the whole family to chat and eat and socialize. There’s a separate Study for a bit of privacy and a large Lounge for relaxing in the evenings.”
The icing on the cake is the luxurious specification from a wide range of fitted appliances in the Kitchen to feature radiators to a centre-piece fireplace to extensive engineered oak flooring to selected areas of floor tiling and extensive wall tiling in the wet areas. The home will be heated through an air source heat pump system which will provide the domestic hot water, central heating and ground floor underfloor heating.
The location of the homes is second to none with gardens that will be fenced and seeded with an ample patio area for enjoying the evening sun. Surrounded by glorious open countryside, the opportunity to walk, ride or fish are on your doorstep whilst there is only a short drive to sample the delights and services offered in Peterborough.
Following on from successful developments in Market Deeping, Barnack and Alwalton, Frank and his family will be continuing their idea of working with buyers to personalize their homes wherever possible.
“Families don’t just have to accept a builder’s specification” continued Frank, “we pride ourselves in offering a flexible approach to peoples wants and needs albeit we are a bit restricted by planning and the build stages. We do try to accommodate people’s requests and choices and are realistic about the costs of making those changes. Whilst we cant offer a bespoke service, we can help with most peoples’ requests.”
Home 9 (the Lord Arthur), has just been released for sale at £799,000 and is in a quiet corner on the south side of the development along with a large garden with a southerly aspect. With 5 bedrooms (two with en suite shower rooms), a family bathroom, a spacious through-lounge, a study and the feature family room, the Lord Arthur promises to be the home that you’ve always dreamed about. The Lord Arthur is expected to be ready to occupy by the end of 2022.
Each home comes complete with the reassurance of an insurance-backed 10-year structural warranty provided by ICW Ltd.
