Award-winning, five-star housebuilder, The Hill Group, expands its presence in Cambridge with the launch of Hartmere, a new residential development designed to meet growing demand in the city's housing market.

Launching on Saturday 18 April, Hartmere is the first phase of the Eddeva Park regeneration, bringing 230 brand‑new three-, four-, five- and six-bedroom homes to the vibrant new neighbourhood, just south of Cambridge city centre. Featuring an exclusive and elegant collection of two‑storey residences and three‑storey townhouses, Hartmere will be delivered by Cambridge Investment Partnership, an equal partnership between Cambridge City Council and The Hill Group. Overlooking the idyllic Gog Magog Hills, the homes will appeal to a wide variety of buyers, and 40% will be designated as affordable.

Hartmere, positioned between Babraham Road and Worts' Causeway on the south‑east edge of Cambridge, offers an ideal setting for first‑time buyers, young professionals, families and downsizers seeking proximity to the city. Its location places residents close to Addenbrooke's Hospital and the University's Biomedical Campus, while a growing network of modern cycleways and pathways will keep Hartmere well connected. The upcoming overall regeneration project of Eddeva Park will also feature a new community centre, play areas and additional green spaces to pause and relax. Residents of Hartmere will enjoy an enviable lifestyle, with an award‑winning butcher, a greengrocer and The Gog deli all close by.

With central Cambridge just a 13‑minute cycle ride away, Hartmere combines convenience, natural beauty and enhanced community amenities and infrastructure in one thoughtfully designed neighbourhood. The development will provide excellent connections to the city through the Park and Ride and cycle paths, along with easy access to the strategic road network. Cambridge South train station, due to open in 2026, will also be close by, further enhancing connectivity.

Rebecca Littler, Group Sales and Marketing Director at The Hill Group, comments: “Hartmere represents everything we believe contemporary living should be - beautifully designed homes in a well-connected, sustainable community. With the Gog Magog Hills on your doorstep, the city centre within cycling distance and excellent transport links, including the new Cambridge South station, we're creating a new community, not just building new homes.”

The homes at Hartmere feature a striking, contemporary aesthetic, defined by a sleek mix of modern grey and red brick façades. Inside, each property is finished to an impeccable standard, with flowing layouts, generous natural light and refined, practical design that supports flexible living spaces for today and tomorrow. Sustainability has been built into the development from the ground up, with eco‑friendly systems such as air-source heat pumps that use reverse‑refrigerator technology to draw warmth from the outside air, providing low‑carbon heating and hot water. Every home will also be equipped with an EV charger, and residents will benefit from ample cycle storage.

For families, Cambridge provides an exceptional choice of primary and secondary education, with nine primary schools located within a 15‑minute drive of Hartmere. Residents also benefit from access to a wide range of prestigious independent and state‑funded secondary schools across the city and the surrounding area. St Bede's Inter‑Church School, rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in 2024, and The Perse School, one of Cambridgeshire's highest‑performing independent schools, are both less than a 15‑minute drive away.

Prices at Hartmere start from £749,950 for a three-bedroom home. For more information, please visit https://www.hill.co.uk/hartmere, or please call 01223 656 879.
