The Waterbeach community thrives with a summer of activity Water sports, new openings and an arts festival round off an exciting season

W aterbeach, the new community north of Cambridge, is thriving after a summer of activity. Community is at the heart of Waterbeach, and over the summer a number of events helped local people come together in the beautiful landscape. From pilot sessions of paddleboarding and wild swimming to a free Swim Bike Run triathlon, the launch of new cafe Evolve by the Lake, beautiful beach huts created by local charity New Meaning and the opening of Wild Wood play area, Waterbeach has been flourishing. There’s more to come, too, with Summer at the Beach – a local arts festival that takes place in the Terraces over three weekends: 24, 25, 31 August and 1, 7 and 8 September. This festival demonstrates the array of artistic talent in the community, as well as workshops including a fun graffiti masterclass by the lakeside on 31 August. Waterbeach has activities for everyone, delivering homes, primary and secondary schools, green space for nature, play and sport, a sustainable travel hub, extensive footpaths and cycle connections, plus a health centre, shops, eateries and other community facilities and services. Another pillar of Waterbeach is sustainability: a travel hub at the gateway to the development has bikes available to hire for free*. These can help you get around, whether it’s popping to the shops or exploring the lake and its 1.2km circular route, which connects to a network of

walking and cycling routes in Waterbeach, into the countryside and beyond. Whether you are looking for your first property, needing a larger home for a growing family or looking to downsize to somewhere that has everything you need on your doorstep, now is a great time to move to Waterbeach. From one- and two-bedroom apartments to three- and four-bedroom houses, Waterbeach homes are designed to integrate with the woodland, parks and extensive footpath/cycle routes, bringing them to your door alongside sustainable features such as air source heat pumps and EV charging. New homes are available from housebuilders Cala and Stonebond, with Shared Ownership options available from Longhurst. An array of offers are available: from Assisted Move and Part Exchange options to exclusive discounts for local residents, there are many ways to make Waterbeach your home. Show homes are open every day, so pop in and chat to the sales team to find out more about how you could make living at Waterbeach a reality.
