About Marleigh Park
Where life meets exceptional living
Vibrant, connected and shaped by a distinctive architectural vision, Marleigh Park is a welcoming new destination for Cambridge.
This award-winning community enjoys a prime location within easy reach of the historic city centre. With a range of beautifully finished homes designed for a variety of lifestyles, it is a home for all stages of life, creating an organic community where different generations can flourish.
Marleigh Park also offers a wealth of amenities, giving residents the opportunity to enjoy a rich and fulfilling lifestyle, all within a short walk of home. It is more than just a place to live – it is a place to belong, thrive and make cherished memories.
Forward-thinking design for your contemporary lifestyle
Finding your new home has never been easier with a diverse selection of exceptional houses to choose from. Each home is thoughtfully designed for the ultimate in comfort and functionality, featuring expansive and light-filled open-plan layouts.
The spirit of togetherness, the essence of community
Marleigh Park is a place that is full of character and encourages people to come together, share experiences and feel connected to everything around them.
At the heart of this flourishing community is Jubilee Square, where everyone can gather and friendships blossom. Everything you need is within easy reach: ingredients for that impromptu invitation to friends; a place that makes your coffee just how you like it. These may be simple pleasures, but they are the ones that help to enrich every day.
Family life is well cared for here, with the Monkey Puzzle Nursery and Marleigh Primary Academy already established and thriving. Walking or cycling to school provides precious moments together, and the chance for children and parents to strengthen new connections. When it’s time to focus on you, the expert-led classes at R3FORM Pilates studio are there to boost your fitness and wellbeing, while the Co-op food store means shopping is fresh and convenient. And for a taste of Italy’s finest flavours just a short walk from home, Salento is the place to indulge with family, friends, or dinner for two.
In addition to these amenities, Marleigh Park has its own community centre. This welcoming and vibrant hub offers a dynamic space for residents to connect with friends, meet new neighbours, and take part in a variety of weekly activities such as yoga, Pilates and badminton.
Uplifting and natural surroundings
People need nature. Communities need open spaces. That is why the outside environment at Marleigh Park has been given as much attention and care as the homes and amenities it surrounds.
Invigorate your morning with a stroll or run alongside Gregory Park. Reeds rustle gently amid the grasses, while wildflowers create a dazzling display of colour. A selection of homes offers undisturbed views over this inspiring landscape.
Marleigh Park’s extensive green space for play and relaxation also includes The Titch and Kingsley Park, which are attractively and sustainably planted with native species to help wildlife thrive.
In the future, there will be sports pitches and multi-use games areas, and for a taste of the good life, allotments will give you the opportunity to grow your own produce. There’s nothing quite so satisfying as unearthing from the rich soil a crop of vegetables you have planted and nurtured yourself.
Maintaining and protecting the 57 acres of open space at Marleigh Park is national charity the Land Trust. Responsible for over 70 sites across the UK, the Land Trust is proud to be custodian of some of the country’s most glorious parks, meadows and nature reserves.
For longer rambles, hikes and bike rides, make your way through Kingsley Woods, which borders the northern edge of Marleigh Park.
Stretching out for miles from here are fields and countryside, the wide open skies of Cambridgeshire and the unique landscapes of the Fens. Living here, you will enjoy that perennially sought after balance of city and country.
Academic excellence
Cambridge is justly renowned for its superb education, from first steps to higher education.
Closest to home is Marleigh Primary Academy, a 420-place school and 52-place nursery with an innovative design, generous classrooms and extensive facilities for sport and outdoor learning. Part of the Anglian Learning multi-academy trust, it has a particular focus on STEM subjects – science, technology, engineering and mathematics – reflecting Cambridge’s strength in these areas.
There are further primary and secondary schools in the local area, plus a range of independent schools so every child can find their place to learn. These include The Perse School, a leading mixed independent school; King’s College School, which dates back to the 15th century; and St John’s College School, the winner of Pre-Prep School of the Year Award 2024.
Cambridge is, of course, most famous for its university. These ancient colleges are an integral part of the city, growing over the years to include new, state-of-the-art facilities to accompany the historic buildings. Living at Marleigh Park, students can easily cycle to this wonderful institution for study and social activities.

Life at Marleigh Park
Meet Libby and Jiten Patel and discover their family journey to finding their dream home at Marleigh Park.
Initially drawn to the superb location, layout and finish of their exquisite five bedroom house, they soon realised that Marleigh Park’s community spirit was going to enhance their lives.
Libby explains: “As soon as we saw the Lime house type online, we had a good feeling. We booked an appointment for the following day and that was it. The houses surpassed anything else we had seen. The high ceilings, the bedroom sizes and the internal specification were very impressive… the whole house works perfectly for us.
“We already knew about Marleigh Park’s other strengths and the quality of the build. What we didn’t foresee was that we’d be part of such a wonderful neighbourhood and make so many new friends. It’s an incredibly special place and we feel really connected to everyone living here.”
With three-year-old Jack and three month-old James, Libby likens daily life to “a scene from a movie. Marleigh Park has been designed with safe cycle paths, so Jack and his friends can ride to the Monkey Puzzle nursery school every day,” she says. “Everyone stops to chat and people wave when they drive past.”
The signs of this community spirit were all there as soon as the family moved in, with neighbours popping over to introduce themselves and Jack instantly making firm friends with the girl next door. Jiten adds: “The events and markets that have been hosted here in Jubilee Square were also a great opportunity to meet people and have really cemented the community.”
Next to beautiful woodland, close to Cambridge and with an easy commute, Libby and Jiten are very happy with their new home and community. “With Marleigh Primary Academy, the shops, restaurant and the Pilates studio R3FORM, it’s a fantastic place to live. We’re definitely here for the long-term.”
