LIFE AT IRONWORKS Cambridge Edition gets a taste of life at Ironworks, a contemporary collection of homes in the heart of Mill Road
three- and four-bedroom houses for sale. Lining mews streets, the homes all share top-spec design, luxury kitchens and bathrooms, and light and airy living spaces. Unlike many new housing developments, Ironworks has a feeling of space and fresh air, with landscaped open spaces, play areas and picnic spots making up 30% of the site. It’s exactly the kind of smart, community-minded design that makes Hill such a well- regarded housebuilder. Another thing you’ll see plenty of as you make your way around this sleek new neighbourhood is public art, which has been woven into the fabric of Ironworks with the help of local artists such as Hilary Cox Condron and Jo Chapman. Over the coming months and years, the programme will include installations, talks, walks, workshops and more with the chosen artists, designed to engage the local and wider community. Keen to see inside? The show house and show apartment are both open – you can either book an appointment, drop by or go on a virtual tour via the Ironworks website. Either way, get ready for some serious interiors inspo, with bold mustard and teal walls, jewel-coloured velvet furnishings and quirky artworks and pieces from local antiques shops to set the tone. The stylish bathrooms have the feel of a boutique hotel, while the bespoke kitchens boast top-of-the-range Bosch appliances and Caesarstone worktops.
he Mill Road area is a Cambridge neighbourhood that needs little introduction. Known and loved for its indie shops, great pubs
and varied eateries, it’s home to a vibrant community and a fascinating history of industry and activism. The road, roughly a mile in length, straddles the neighbourhoods of Romsey and Petersfield, sitting around a ten- minute walk from the city centre but with a distinct personality all of its own. Whether you’re in the market for an antique tea set, second-hand books, obscure spices, a pint of locally brewed beer or a new vinyl for your record collection, you can find it on Mill Road – along with amazing food from all over the world. Factor in proximity to the train station and it’s easy to see why the area is such a sought-after choice for homebuyers and renters in the city. It’s no wonder then, that Ironworks – a brand-new collection of homes in the very heart of Mill Road – is already proving popular. Offering the benefits of a contemporary, new-build home, but surrounded by a thriving existing community and a lively mix of shops, it offers a unique appeal for homebuyers.

The location has been a busy one over the centuries, serving as a coprolite mill, a coal depot and an iron foundry, and Ironworks nods to the area’s industrial heritage in both name and design elements, such as the bold metal framing on the exterior of the apartments. Architectural inspiration is also taken from the quaint charm of nearby period properties, ensuring that Ironworks slots into the neighbourhood nicely, even while making a statement of individuality.
