Considered design and build for Cambridge homes.
Extensions, kitchens, bathrooms and garden rooms — designed and built by one team, from first sketch to final handover. Across Cambridge and the surrounding villages.
What we do
Four things, done properly.
We've narrowed our work to the four projects we know best — and the four that matter most for Cambridge homes. Each one is designed and built by the same team, with one project manager from start to finish.
01
Extensions
Rear, side, wraparound and two-storey extensions, drawn and built by one team.
Explore
02
Kitchens
Designed kitchens with joinery and stone, refits and as part of an extension.
Explore
03
Bathrooms
Family, en-suite, principal and wet rooms — stone, brass and considered detail.
Explore
04
Garden Rooms
Garden offices, studios, gyms and annexes — built like a house, not a shed.

How we work
One team, from first sketch to final handover.
LD Properties handles the design, the planning, and the build under one roof. No subcontracted chaos, no handover gaps, no surprises on cost. One project manager, one team, one phone number.

Sketch
A measured survey, a first drawing, and an honest conversation about cost.
- 02
Planning
Drawings, permissions, conservation and listed building consent.
- 03
Build
One project manager, our trades, our workshop, our standard.
- 04
Handover
Snagging, finishing, certification, and a year of aftercare.
Where we work
Cambridge and the surrounding villages.
Most of our work is within ten miles of central Cambridge — the city, the colleges, and the villages that ring it. Click through to see projects and notes for each area.
From recent clients
The houses are still standing.
Most of our work comes from referrals — a neighbour, a friend who saw a finished room, an architect who's used us before. A few notes from people we've built for.
“They drew it, they built it, and they showed up every day. The result is the calmest room in the house.”
R. & A. — Newnham, 2024
Rear extension
“The price we agreed in February was the price we paid in October. The kitchen is the room we use most.”
D. & K. — Trumpington, 2024
Kitchen refit
“We've worked with three builders in this house. This was the only one that didn't end in an argument.”
The H. family — Great Shelford, 2025
