WHITTLE AVENUE
The concept of ‘De Havilland House’ has
emerged from its exclusive address, Whittle
Avenue. Inspired by the historic figure, Sir Frank
Whittle, born in 1907; a Royal Air Force officer
who made a major contribution to the invention
of the jet engine and who gained a first at
Peterhouse, Cambridge. After financial backing
and Royal Air Force approval, Power Jets Ltd was
formed. Following a series of tests, the first flight
was made on 15 May 1941. The jet engine proved
to be a winner, particularly in America where the
technology was enthusiastically embraced.
The De Havilland Comet was the first production
commercial jet airliner that went into service in 1952.
Much of the design is similar to the commercial
airliners seen around the world today. The Comet
had four turbojet engines which made the aircraft
much more efficient at higher altitudes of flight than
its propeller-driven contemporaries. Furthermore,
it featured an internally pressurised fuselage/cabin
and also pioneered design elements which were
unusual at the time such as backward-swept wings,
integral wing fuel tanks and a four-wheel bogie
undercarriage.
Whittle Avenue forms part of a wider development
of sustainable new homes set in an upcoming
new area. The greater community has already
won prestigious awards making it one of the most
desirable residences in Cambridge. Currently an
aspiring place to live, this new address is sure to
stand the test of time.
This exciting scheme carries a signature style that
works with the way people live today. Offering
convenient access to a wide range of local amenities
and facilities, Whittle Avenue is seen as a great
place to call home.
Strategically located and well serviced by public
transport, commuting or a leisurely trip into the city
centre or train station couldn’t be easier - there is
direct access via the Cambridgeshire Guided Bus,
which runs directly through Great Kneighton. In
addition, the abundant network of footpaths and
cycle routes connect the new community to the
Cambridge Biomedical Campus and Addenbrookes
Hospital.
Situated in a prime spot, the travel connections to
London are excellent. Commuters can easily access
the M11 with links to the M25. London Stansted
Airport is around 25 miles via the M11. Alternatively,
there is a half hourly rail service from Cambridge to
London to Kings Cross in around 48 minutes and to
London Liverpool Street in approximately one hour
and 10 minutes.
