EXCLUSIVE

Set within 17 acres of stunning parkland, we are creating a private gated community that is in complete harmony with the beautiful countryside that surrounds it. With a mix of tended areas and more wild areas left to nature, for everyone to enjoy. Homes and pockets of activity sit along a connecting spine that link the 5 hectares of Houghton Meadow within the historic grounds of The How itself.

Every home will be at the leading edge of energy efficiency and sustainability, with clever but discrete technology generating power and managing the temperature and air quality so that you can live healthy, happy lives with a clear conscience.

The timing is perfect. Trends in work have changed for the better. Employers see the need for people to work away from the office - often actively encouraging it, at least for part of the week - and people are more productive and happier when they have a better work/life balance.

Additionally, more and more people are choosing to leave the daily commute behind altogether and work for themselves, freelancing, consulting, or starting creative businesses on their own terms.

GREEN

The unique countryside setting is so beautiful, we committed at the start to work with it, not against it. It would be easy to flatten it and build just another housing estate... but The How is destined to be very different and leave a long-lasting legacy which will be admired by generations to come.

Historic trails and bridleways are connected to the design. Step out of your front door, turn a corner and within minutes you can be out in nature, with picturesque countryside walks to explore at your leisure.

Homes are right for today and ready for tomorrow - contemporary, clean, and modern with a fabric first approach that ensures a comfortable, low-energy home for life.

'Fabric first' may not be a term you're familiar with, but it is changing the way new homes are designed and built. Fabric first uses cutting edge design, material technologies and specialist workmanship to minimise the need for heating and cooling, reducing heat loss and insulating beyond industry standards.

We're also making best use of natural light, maximising heat gain in the cooler months and reducing it in the summer, so that homes can be both beautiful and energy efficient - aesthetic doesn't need to take a back seat to the need to reduce the impact of a home throughout its life.

LIVING

The How itself is situated adjacent to the River Ouse with a short walk to the Thicket Path accessed via a private gate from the development and is ideal for cycling, running and watersports. The grounds themselves are perfect for early morning walks or sunset strolls through its beautiful mature gardens. Follow on with a walk through medieval ridge and furrow meadows bursting with wildflowers so rare, they've been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Hemingford Meadow, described by Daniel Defoe in 1724/6 as 'the most beautiful in any part of England, one of the most agreeable sights of its kind in the whole world', overlooks the town. Also accessed from the town, near the grade 1 listed parish church of All Saints, is Holt Island Nature Reserve, once an important source of willow osiers for basket making. This green walk of just over 2 miles (5,000 steps) is along a riverside footpath to climb a track through woodland, through a stile and into an open field. Follow with an amble through ancient and unspoilt
meadows. Tranquil places to sit, rest and have a picnic. Very high count of wild flowers, insects and birdlife.

THE BEAUTY OF LIVING IN ST IVES/CAMBRIDGESHIRE

St Ives is a charming market town set on the banks of the River Great Ouse about 12 miles to the north west of Cambridge. The main street and the old Quay, on the riverside, have many attractive buildings and there are several architecturally important buildings such as the Jacobean manor house, 15th century All Saints church and the six-arch Barnack stone bridge which incorporates a chapel - one of only four of its kind left in England. The market square has a good range of shops from national chains to small independent stores.

The weekly markets are a great place to buy locally produced foods, plants and gifts and several food and drink festivals and continental markets are held throughout the year. There are plenty of choices for the more active with a leisure centre, championship golf club and an array of sports clubs ranging from bowls and boxing through to rugby and sailing - something for all ages.

The Guided Busway in St Ives, the longest in the world, runs through pretty countryside and provides quick and frequent access to the centre of Cambridge. Cambridge is also one of only 11 cities in the UK that have been designated as one of the UK's "cycling cities" - an award that Cambridge received in 2008. Packed full of stunning architecture and nature, Cambridge is a beautiful university town renowned for its impact on history. The tightly packed city centre is perfect for exploring ancient colleges, cobbled streets and the picturesque "Backs" alongside the River Cam.

A city that celebrates quintessential England with pioneering scientific research. With famous alumni such as Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Professor Stephen Hawking, you'll be following in some famous footsteps. See the colleges where these great minds studied and be inspired by the same surroundings which changed the course of history
