Five-star housebuilders Allison Homes Central and Taylor Wimpey East Midlands will deliver a development of 340 new homes in the village of Sawtry, bringing over £5.6 million of investment to the local area.

Located on Glatton Road, the site will consist of 138 Allison Homes properties and 202 Taylor Wimpey homes, with 40% of all homes being delivered as affordable properties. Allison Homes' development will feature 85 homes for open market sale and 53 affordable homes, while Taylor Wimpey will provide 119 open market homes and 83 affordable homes.

Home buyers will have a wide range of home styles to choose from, including two, three and four bedroom designs, while one, two, three and four bedroom properties will be provided as affordable homes.

As well as delivering a mix of high-quality, energy efficient new homes, the two developers will be contributing over £5.6 million to Huntingdonshire District Council towards local infrastructure, which will benefit Wellside Surgery, sports facilities, early years and primary education facilities and support improvements to bus routes.

In addition, land will be provided to Cambridgeshire County Council for the construction of a new primary school, and over 4.5 hectares of public open space will be delivered, including a Neighbourhood Equipped Area for Play and allotments.

Allison Homes has now commenced construction work on the site, with Taylor Wimpey set to begin in July 2026.

Sophie Kendal, Land and Partnerships Director at Allison Homes Central, said: “We are incredibly proud to have partnered with Taylor Wimpey on what is a very exciting development for us at Allison Homes.

“By working with Taylor Wimpey, we will be offering a greater mix of homes for local people looking to move on or up the property ladder, creating a development with diverse and attractive street scenes in keeping with the local vernacular and pooling together the expertise of two highly regarded developers.

“We are looking forward to bringing our high-quality, sustainable new homes to Sawtry, and to working in partnership to bring this development to life.”

We're pleased to be working with Allison Homes to deliver a wide range of high-quality homes and green spaces, while also contributing towards improving local facilities.
