Cala at Waterbeach homes are designed for modern, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance living, with residential units ranging from 538 sq. ft. to 2,295 sq. ft. The collection includes two and three-storey homes, with a focus on light-filled, open-plan living spaces. Specifications are noted for quality, including features such as double-glazed windows, efficient boilers, water-saving systems, and quality insulation. Certain sustainable features are also incorporated across the development, including air source heat pumps and underfloor heating in some new build properties. Standard interior finishes often include Quality Amtico Spacia flooring and high-gloss vanity units in the main bathrooms and en-suites of the houses. Connectivity is a core feature of the Waterbeach masterplan. The development is situated off the A10, providing a direct road link to Cambridge and Ely. A crucial amenity is the dedicated, regular shuttle bus service connecting the development’s Sustainable Travel Hub to Waterbeach Railway Station, Milton Park & Ride, and Cambridge Research Park. Commuters benefit from excellent rail services to the city, with a fast journey time of just 9 to 11 minutes to Cambridge and approximately one hour to London. The Travel Hub also facilitates active and low-carbon travel with electric car charging points, bike hire, and over 40km of new cycle connections into areas like the Cambridge Science Park. Local education is supported by the existing Waterbeach Community Primary School for initial phases, with the new, on-site Deneia Primary Academy (run by Anglian Learning Trust) scheduled to open as the community grows. Secondary education is covered by the catchment for the highly regarded Cottenham Village College, accessible via the dedicated Transport Hub bus service. Local amenities in the adjacent Waterbeach village include The Sun Inn, a child and dog-friendly pub serving traditional food. The masterplan also commits to a future on-site health centre, dedicated shops, and eateries, promoting a highly self-sufficient new town structure. Availability is focused on 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and 4 bedroom houses as part of the current phase. Interested buyers are advised to contact the developer for specific plot completion dates and to confirm the current availability of property types, particularly 3-bedroom houses which may be available in subsequent phases. Viewings can be arranged via the sales office at 1, Kendale Road, which is open from Saturday to Monday, 10:30 am to 5:00 pm. The developer offers assistance schemes such as Part Exchange and Stamp Duty contribution, subject to terms and conditions.
