Award-winning, five-star housebuilder, The Hill Group, is proud to launch Audley Green, an exclusive collection of 67 beautiful new homes that combines luxury and sustainable living. Situated in the rural Essex countryside and bordered by the River Cam, Audley Green enjoys a prime location just a ten-minute drive from Saffron Walden - which has recently been named 2025's best place to live in the UK by The Sunday Times.

The new neighbourhood will feature a range of property types, including two-bedroom bungalows, and two, three, four and five-bedroom properties, each tailored to provide spacious, comfortable living spaces that are as eco-conscious as they are elegant.  Designed to meet the needs of modern, discerning buyers at every stage of life, these high-end homes offer a range of styles and layouts.

Rebecca Littler, Group Sales and Marketing Director at The Hill Group, comments: “We are excited to launch Audley Green, nestled alongside the River Cam and surrounded by picturesque countryside, this exceptional new community is thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. From beautifully landscaped green spaces to scenic walking trails, Audley Green offers residents the opportunity to embrace the beauty of rural living. It truly delivers the best of both worlds—a peaceful, countryside lifestyle with easy connections to the local area and beyond. With strong demand for this desirable location, we are confident Audley Green will appeal to a wide range of buyers, including growing families and young professionals." 

The homes at Audley Green will feature spacious and light-filled open-plan living areas, elegant bathrooms and timeless styled kitchens that comprise sleek appliances and showcase natural elegance. The homes will be built and finished to an exemplary standard and represent traditional British architecture with modern design twists.

At the heart of the vision for Audley Green lies a commitment to environmental responsibility. The development boasts energy-efficient homes equipped with solar panels, electric vehicle charging points, air source heat pumps and state-of-the-art insulation, all chosen to reduce energy consumption and lower carbon footprints. Additionally, Audley Green's beautifully landscaped public spaces will feature native planting, enhance biodiversity and promote ecological wellbeing.

Audley Green is located in the charming village of Great Chesterford, which provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Local highlights include the charming Great Chesterford Nature Reserve, perfect for outdoor activities, and a range of independent shops, cafes, and pubs. For commuters, the development is conveniently close to Great Chesterford railway station, which reaches Cambridge in just 15 minutes, and London in just over an hour. With its rich blend of modern living and the best of rural and urban life, Audley Green offers an exceptional opportunity for those seeking both convenience and a vibrant community.

For families, there's an excellent selection of schools. For younger children, Great Chesterford Church of England Primary Academy, rated 'Good' by Ofsted, is conveniently located in the village. For the next stage, Saffron Walden County High School, which is rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, provides education from ages 11 to 18, with a dynamic sixth form offering a diverse range of A-Levels and other qualifications.
