Cambridgeshire Homebuyers Head to Manea for Better Value

Arkwood Living

Located around 10 miles from Ely and boasting its own train station with direct links to Cambridge and Peterborough, Manea has become an increasingly attractive option for buyers seeking better value without leaving the county.

Recent government data reveals the average house price in Cambridge is over £500,000, up nearly 7% from last year.* With prices starting from just £204,000, homes at The Osiers are significantly more financially accessible, creating opportunities for first-time buyers, families, and downsizers alike.

The development is made up of a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom homes as well as two-bedroom bungalows, each fitted with an air source heat pump, electric car chargers, flooring, integrated appliances and chrome fittings as standard.

Andrew Dewberry, Managing Director at Arkwood Living, said, "We're seeing real interest from buyers who've been priced out of larger towns and cities, but still want good transport links and quality homes. Manea offers a quieter pace of life, but it doesn't mean compromising on access or amenities."

In the heart of the Fenland district, local services include a primary school, doctor's surgery, pub, convenience stores and community hub, all set against the backdrop of open countryside and nature reserves.

For those considering a move, Arkwood Living invites prospective buyers to explore The Chestnut showhome on Edwards Way and see first-hand how far their budget can stretch in Manea.
