THE ALTERNATIVE HOME Introducing a new quarter for Cambridgeshire – where residents can live well by design he modern housebuilder,
House by Urban Splash, has unveiled two show homes at Inholm: a new neighbourhood at Northstowe in Cambridgeshire, filled with well-designed, sustainable and energy-efficient properties. The vision is to create a new quarter for Northstowe, filled with parks and green spaces, an outdoor gym, excellent transport connections, two waterparks, and 406 brilliantly designed homes. All have high energy-efficiency credentials, exceptional finishes, high-speed broadband, eco-friendly heating, built-in bike stores and parking. The award-winning builds are situated in Northstowe’s most desirable location, with views over the waterparks and across the Cambridgeshire countryside – in close proximity to the new neighbourhood schools, and what will soon become a town centre. House by Urban Splash is fusing its contemporary approach to architecture with heritage, injecting thousands of years of history into its vision. The company’s residential director, Guy Ackernley, explains: “With more than half of our first homes in place, our vision for Inholm is fast becoming a reality; it has been inspired by the past to create something for residents of the future, who can live well and sustainably.” Work is underway to create ‘sociable’ streets – places where children can play and neighbours convene. “When we think about suburbia, we think of culs-de-sac, road spaces designed to accommodate cars and not people,” continues Guy. “Our blueprint is an alternative, promoting great design and healthy living, with inviting

There’s also a ‘loft living’ home, presenting a different choice – the downstairs is used for sleeping, while the upper floors offer living space. Guy concludes: “As we’ve seen at our other, sold out House by Urban Splash neighbourhoods up and down the country, this is the most exciting time for buyers who get in early. They could be founding members of a new, sustainable place to live, work and play.” Want to join the new residents moving in at Inholm?

communal spaces. Places where people can meet in the way old settlements would have done. “It’s something that helps us deliver environmental agendas, which are strong in Cambridge, too – and, of course, a big part of our House by Urban Splash ethos.” Visitors can now see inside for the first time; 43 of them were precision manufactured in the House by Urban Splash factory, and delivered to a site known as the Peninsula. The architect- designed homes have won more than 20 awards; big and beautiful, they’re filled with natural light – super-large windows and lofty ceilings make them spacious and airy. Two are now open as show homes, displaying a ‘garden living’ layout with an open-plan kitchen downstairs, a bedroom, bathroom and home office on the second
