Strawberry Fields, Cambridge

Project Team:

  • Architect: Hester Architects
  • Contractor: Bennett Construction

Strawberry Fields is an exceptional new retirement development offering 147 contemporary homes, designed to meet the needs of residents over 60. The first phase of the scheme is set for completion in 2024, with the entire development scheduled for 2025.

Located in the picturesque hamlet of Stapleford, just four miles south of Cambridge, the site borders Magog Down, a 163-acre nature reserve in the Gog Magog Hills, providing stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Previously used for strawberry farming, the land is now being transformed into a vibrant retirement village, thoughtfully designed to promote independent living with on-site care provision.

The development will feature a mix of bungalows and apartments, all built to the highest standards of comfort, accessibility, and energy efficiency. A wealth of state-of-the-art amenities will support an active and social lifestyle, including a wellbeing centre with a pool, steam room, and sauna, a gym, dance studio, bistro, coffee shop, and bar, as well as a village hall and a hair and beauty salon.

Strawberry Fields is set to become a thriving, well-connected community, offering modern, high-quality homes in a tranquil countryside setting.
