The new scheme will offer 147 contemporary retirement properties with the first phase of the scheme estimated to be completed in 2024 and the remaining building works due for completion in 2025. 

The site is in the attractive hamlet of Stapleford, four miles south of Cambridge and borders Magog Down, a 163-acre reserve on the Gog Magog Hills with views of the surrounding countryside. The development is being built on a piece of land, previously used for growing strawberries.

Homes at Strawberry Fields will be built with the needs of over 60s in mind, with provision of onsite care for residents, allowing them to live independently with confidence. 

The new village will feature a range of sensitively designed bungalows and apartments, incorporating state-of-the-art amenities, energy-efficient features and the creation of amenities to encourage residents to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Facilities will include a wellbeing centre (pool, steam room and sauna), gym, dance studio, bistro, coffee shop and bar, village hall and a hair and beauty salon.
