Welcome to Violet Meadows

Violet Meadows is a welcoming new development of 175 two, three and four bedroom homes in the historic market town of Whittlesey. Built with care by Allison Homes, each property is thoughtfully designed to combine stylish finishes with energy-efficient everyday functionality.

Surrounded by the open skies of the Fenland landscape, the development’s semi-rural setting provides a sense of space, while keeping you close to everything you need. At just 20 minutes by road from the thriving cathedral city of Peterborough, you have a location that truly delivers the best of both worlds.

Whittlesey’s charming town centre puts all the essentials on your doorstep, filled with local shops, historic pubs, independent cafés and a bustling weekly market. Nearby pub The Straw Bear offers real ales and classic fare in welcoming surroundings, while Vesuvio provides a popular spot for Italian cuisine.

For a greater choice, Peterborough offers a range of major supermarkets, restaurants and retail, including the Queensgate and Serpentine Green shopping centres – both filled with high street favourites and big-name brands.

When it comes to leisure, there’s no shortage of things to do in and around Whittlesey. The town’s annual Straw Bear Festival is a uniquely local celebration, bringing music, dance and pageantry to the streets every January. Additionally, the Whittlesey Summer Festival takes over much of the town in September, with fairground rides, food stalls and displays.

Manor Leisure Centre is just a short distance away and features a swimming pool, gym and a range of classes. Alternatively, local parks, play areas and the nearby Fenland Aqua Park cater perfectly for families. If you prefer something a little more relaxing, Lattersey Nature Reserve offers peaceful trails for walking and wildlife spotting.

Head into Peterborough and you’ll find even more options – from the Key Theatre and Showcase Cinema de Lux to the sprawling greens and lakes of Nene Park and Ferry Meadows, perfect for walking, cycling, kayaking or picnicking by the water.

Families at Violet Meadows benefit from a strong selection of schools in and around Whittlesey. Primary, secondary and sixth form options all sit within a 10-minute drive and provide education up to the age of 18.

Commuters will love the excellent local transport links. Whittlesea Station operates direct rail services to Cambridge, Ely and Peterborough, with onward connections to London King’s Cross in under an hour from Peterborough Station. By car, the A605 and A1(M) provide access to neighbouring towns, cities and beyond, including London Stansted Airport, which is within a 90-minute drive.

With character, community and countryside appeal combined with strong transport links to the city, Violet Meadows offers everything you need for modern life.
