Areas we cover across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and beyond
From our studio on Huntingdon Street in St Neots, we work with homeowners across roughly a 45-minute drive, through Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and into Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire. We know the local planning authorities and what tends to win approval in each. Find your town below.
Bedford
Bedfordshire
About 25–30 minutes from St Neots, Victorian and Edwardian villas, bay-fronted interwar semis and post-war estates that almost always reward a thoughtful extension or remodel.
Cambourne
Cambridgeshire
Around 15 minutes along the A428. A modern new town of Great, Lower, Upper and West Cambourne where careful side and rear extensions transform standard developer house types.
Cambridge
Cambridgeshire
Around 35–40 minutes along the A428, one of the most rewarding and most tightly controlled places we design in, from Mill Road terraces to Romsey and Petersfield.
Huntingdon
Cambridgeshire
Fifteen minutes up the A1 and our home planning authority. We know Huntingdonshire District Council inside out, from the riverside conservation areas to the 1970s estates.
St Ives
Cambridgeshire
Twenty minutes east, a historic market town with a tight conservation area and a strong stock of listed and period homes that reward heritage-led design.
St Neots
Cambridgeshire
Our home town. We know the conservation areas, the Huntingdonshire planners and what works on the river, the Market Square and the post-war estates.
Biggleswade
Bedfordshire
Twenty minutes south down the A1, a growing market town where we work on Victorian cottages, post-war semis and the newer estates off the London Road.
Kettering
Northamptonshire
Around 40 minutes via the A14, ironstone terraces, interwar semis and large post-war plots in Barton Seagrave and Burton Latimer that take generous extensions well.
Peterborough
Cambridgeshire
Around 40 minutes north. Edwardian terraces in the centre, post-war suburbs and new townships in Hampton and Cardea, each with its own planning rhythm.
Royston
Hertfordshire
About 30 minutes via the A10, a chalk-belt town with strong period stock, a sensitive conservation area and a planning regime we know well.
Rushden
Northamptonshire
About 45 minutes via the A45, a Northamptonshire market town of red-brick terraces and interwar semis with plenty of scope for side, rear and loft extensions.
Sandy
Bedfordshire
Fifteen minutes south on the A1. Period brick cottages in the centre and post-war estates on the edges, with Central Bedfordshire as the planning authority.
Wellingborough
Northamptonshire
About 45 minutes via the A45, ironstone terraces, interwar semis and generous post-war plots that suit ambitious rear and wrap extensions.
Hitchin
Hertfordshire
Around 35 minutes south, one of Hertfordshire's finest historic towns, with an Article 4 conservation area and a stock of listed buildings that demands heritage-led design.
Letchworth
Hertfordshire
About 35 minutes south, the world's first Garden City, with Heritage Foundation design controls that shape every extension, dormer and porch.
Newmarket
Suffolk
About 45 minutes east of St Neots, the home of British horse racing, with Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and a working racing heritage that shapes its conservation areas.
Stevenage
Hertfordshire
Around 40 minutes south of St Neots, England's first post-war New Town, with a mix of mid-century planned neighbourhoods, the historic Old Town High Street and surrounding villages like Knebworth and Aston.
