L&Q is set to unveil the next phase of Shared Ownership homes at its popular Cambridge development, L&Q at Darwin Green, with the new collection launching on Saturday 17th January.
Following strong demand for previous phases, this new release will bring nine new Shared Ownership homes to market, comprising a range of two-bedroom apartments and two- and three-bedroom houses. The launch will offer a range of new house styles and layouts not previously available, providing even greater choice for buyers looking to put down roots in one of Cambridge’s newest neighbourhoods.
This next collection of homes marks further progress in the wider Darwin Green development – a major new community that will ultimately deliver over 1,500 new homes just outside Cambridge city centre. Designed around a 15-acre central park, sports pitches and a network of leafy pedestrian and cycle routes, the development has been carefully planned to encourage a sustainable, walkable lifestyle. Offering a fantastic range of on-site amenities for residents, the masterplan will also see a health centre and library delivered on site, as well as a potential primary school, secondary school and a supermarket.
Claire Brenlund, Sales and Marketing Director at L&Q, comments: “Cambridge remains one of the most desirable places to live in the UK, but affordability continues to be a challenge for local buyers. Shared Ownership at Darwin Green provides a much-needed opportunity for people to access the city’s property market without compromising on quality or location.”
“Part of a major new neighbourhood, this development represents a significant addition to Cambridge’s housing landscape. Our next phase of homes continues L&Q’s commitment to delivering well-designed, energy-efficient properties that meet the needs of today’s buyers.”
Each home at L&Q at Darwin Green is finished to an impressive standard, with integrated kitchen and washing appliances, contemporary fittings and quality flooring throughout, at no extra cost to buyers. All homes come with a private bicycle shed and dedicated parking. Crucially, the new homes also come with a 12-year NHBC warranty inclusive of a two-year L&Q New Home warranty, for added peace of mind.
Houses on-site also come equipped with the latest green credentials, including solar panels and an electric car charging point, offering buyers a sustainable and future-ready home.
Located just a 10-minute cycle from Cambridge city centre, L&Q at Darwin Green is well connected by road and public transport. Cambridge Station provides regular train services to London, reaching King’s Cross in under 50 minutes and Liverpool Street in just over an hour. For drivers, the development offers easy access to the A14 and M11, while a frequent local bus service connects residents to the city centre for everyday travel.
Residents at L&Q at Darwin Green can make the most of Cambridge’s rich mix of culture, shopping and green spaces. Popular destinations like the Grand Arcade and The Grafton offer a wide range of high street brands, while independent cafés, pubs and Michelin-starred restaurants make the city a renowned foodie hub. The historic River Cam is perfect for scenic strolls or summer punting, and the city’s theatres, museums and world-class university facilities provide year-round entertainment and leisure options.
