Huntingdon MP Tours Brand-New Development in Somersham

Allison Homes

Located on The Bank and surrounded by beautiful countryside, Cranbrook Grange offers a high-quality mix of two, three and four bedroom homes, just a short drive away from the vibrant towns of St Ives and Huntingdon.

Ben Obese-Jecty MP, accompanied by his Senior Parliamentary Assistant Ross Martin, received an exclusive tour of the site earlier this month (October). On the day, he met with the housebuilder's Assistant Site Manager Jimmy Tomlinson, Sales Manager Will Wallace, and Sales Executive Melania Rus.

During the visit, the Huntingdon MP toured the completed and upcoming areas of the site, and learnt more about Cranbrook Grange's progress and future. The visit concluded with a look around the two newly launched show homes, a three bedroom The Laurel and a four bedroom The Walnut.

Ben Obese-Jecty MP said: “It was good to visit Cranbrook Grange and see the progress being made on site. It was also encouraging to see that a number of the new homes are already occupied and forming part of the local community. I'm grateful to the team at Allison Homes for the warm welcome and for showing me around the site.”  

Adam Knight, Managing Director at Allison Homes Central, said: “It was a pleasure to have Mr Obese-Jecty visit Cranbrook Grange and explore our new homes first-hand. This is a development we are very excited about at Allison Homes, so we were delighted to see him share our passion.

“Our team has made fantastic progress since construction work began last year, and the first residents have now moved in. We look forward to continuing our work on site, delivering a total of 131 high-quality new homes alongside a host of community and environmental benefits.”

Cranbrook Grange, located just outside the charming village centre, boasts a combination of rural charm and modern convenience, with a strong sense of community and access to nature's beauty and urban excitement.

For those looking to explore further, the Cambridge Guided Busway offers a direct bus route from St Ives to Cambridge and Addenbrooke's Hospital. The journey offers scenic views and is a perfect way to enjoy the outdoor adventures each town has to offer. With Cambridge just a 33-minute drive away, which boasts stunning architecture, a rich history and a lively atmosphere, Cranbrook Grange offers a unique blend of countryside tranquillity and easy access to vibrant city life.

Excellently connected, Somersham provides easy access to the A141, connecting to Huntingdon and King's Lynn, and A14. Huntington train station is just 10 miles away and offers direct services to Peterborough and to London in less than an hour.
