Fitzwilliam Gate Development to Bring 70 New Homes to Cambridge
The Hill Group, an award-winning housebuilder, has revealed plans for Fitzwilliam Gate, a development comprising 70 new homes ranging from one to four bedrooms in north Cambridge. The launch is scheduled for Saturday 26 September 2026.
Situated on Histon Road within the established Arbury neighbourhood, Fitzwilliam Gate offers residents a blend of city convenience and suburban charm. The development is designed to attract families, professionals, and first-time buyers, benefiting from proximity to well-regarded schools, local amenities, and the green spaces of Histon Road Recreation Ground.
Rebecca Littler, Group Sales and Marketing Director at The Hill Group, said, “Fitzwilliam Gate opens an exciting new chapter for homebuyers seeking the perfect balance of quality, connectivity and community. Many homes overlook the recreation ground, putting woodland trails, green space and a play park right on residents’ doorsteps, while the buzz of the city centre, top local schools and everyday essentials are all just a short walk away. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing family or just looking for the best of city and village living, then this is a neighbourhood that truly suits every stage of life.”
The homes are finished to a premium specification, featuring Caesarstone worktops, fully integrated kitchen appliances, and soft-close drawers. Bathrooms include framed mirrors and large porcelain tiles. The properties range from two to three storeys, with underfloor heating installed on the ground floor for added comfort. Many houses offer open-plan kitchen and dining spaces with bifold doors leading to spacious terraces and gardens.
Energy efficiency is a key feature of the development, with air source heat pumps, electric vehicle charging points, and large triple-glazed windows incorporated into each home. Residents will also benefit from dedicated cycle storage and private parking spaces.
Prospective buyers will soon have the opportunity to visit two show homes—a four-bedroom and a three-bedroom property—to experience the craftsmanship and quality firsthand.
Arbury is recognised as one of north Cambridge’s most established communities, known for its strong local spirit and amenities, including the annual Arbury Carnival. Fitzwilliam Gate offers a peaceful retreat while keeping residents close to Cambridge’s cultural and social attractions. Kettle’s Yard art gallery is a 13-minute walk away, Jesus Green Lido is accessible within 19 minutes on foot, and Cambridge Market Square is just an eight-minute cycle ride from the site.
The development is well positioned for commuters, with Cambridge Business Park reachable by a 15-minute cycle and St John’s Innovation Park 17 minutes away by bike. Cambridge Science Park is also a 17-minute cycle, while Cambridge Biomedical Campus is a 23-minute drive. Cambridge Station can be reached within 15 minutes by bicycle, providing connections across the city and beyond.
