Welcome to the Heathfield Residents Association where you can find out what’s going on on our estate and give you all the information you need as a resident. If you’re thinking of moving to our peaceful but energetic community, come and get an insider’s view and see why Heathfield is such a great place to live!
Heathfield is situated very conveniently close to the M11, giving great access to Cambridge and London with a short drive to a number of train stations. Plus, we have the added bonus of being situated opposite Duxford Imperial War Museum, making show weekends a great view from most of the estate.
Heathfield is a private estate, meaning that it is not incorporated into the local Council. Neither the local council or district council maintain it and it is owned by the residents. With a few exceptions, all the owners of houses in Kingsway, Whitehall Gardens, Queens Row and Woburn Place are shareholders in the company (note, Woburn Mews is not part of HRA). The Board look after or use approved contractors to maintain the green spaces, shared parking on Whitehall Gardens as well as lighting, roads and pathways across the estate. There are no allocated parking spaces around Whitehall Gardens and this is reflected in individual property Deeds.
