Travel packs for Cambridge residents

Redeham Homes, one of the UK’s premier developers of luxurious design-led homes, is the first developer in Cambridge to work in conjunction with Cambridge City Council to produce travel packs for residents at its exclusive waterside development Vie.

The travel packs contain tips and advice on alternative green travel including a bus timetable, map of Cambridge City Centre, cycling routes and car clubs. The pack has been created to encourage residents at Vie to reduce the use of cars when travelling around striving to make development as family friendly as possible.

Vie is a collection of 287 one, two and three bedroom apartments plus three and four bedroom townhouses in an outstanding riverside location set within one mile of the hustle and bustle of Cambridge city centre. With journey times into central London taking less than an hour, the development has become a magnet for commuters.

Residents at Vie will benefit from the new cycle and foot bridge that crosses the River Cam linking Vie and the area of Chesterton to the south. The bridge will be the only crossing on the east side of the city and will offer a peaceful alternative route into town.

Pam Reardon, Sales and Marketing Director for Redeham Homes comments: “We are a green developer breaking new ground by actively encouraging residents at Vie to consider walking, cycling and using public transport wherever possible. Our ultimate goal is make to the whole scheme a family area without the risk of speeding traffic.”

Vie is an exclusive collection of waterside homes with each residence benefiting from a spacious terrace or balcony with some boasting fantastic views of the River Cam or surrounding gardens. Each home features underfloor heating and contemporary designer kitchen units with Smeg integrated oven, hob, fridge freezer and washer/dryer. Bathrooms and ensuites will all feature Villeroy and Boch sanitary ware, with Hansgrohe chrome finish fittings, and Italian design wall tiles.

Convenient for residents with vehicles, each apartment benefits from an allocated parking space while some of the town houses include a garage with electrically activated door. All homes are provided with cycle storage.

Life at Vie is ideal for those looking to get away from the hectic pace of city life and enjoy a contemporary waterside home. The river Cam often has people rowing and punting, the grounds of Vie offer many places to enjoy a relaxing stroll or simply sit back and enjoy the openness and fresh air the area has to offer.
