Cambridgeshire Estate and Letting Agents

Cambridgeshire is a county in the East of England and is renowned for its famous university in Cambridge, but there is more to this sought after area. Cambridgeshire has many other historic towns, including Ely, Peterborough, St Ives, St. Neots and Huntingdon, and miles of unspoilt countryside dotted with picturesque villages.

The pull of Cambridge as a hub for business, research and culture has brought other investment to the area such as the large science park in Melbourn. This has had a knock-on effect on demand for housing across the county and many towns and villages are expanding to include modern developments.

The historic university town of Cambridge needs little introduction. Take a tour of the colleges or a punt along the River Cam. Alternatively, while away an afternoon strolling through the cobbled streets with their many fine cafes, pubs, restaurants and independent shops.

There is more to Cambridgeshire than the city of Cambridge. Don’t miss the stunning cathedral city of Ely. It has many beautiful historical buildings, some of which date back to medieval times.

The Cambridgeshire Fens are a vast area of extremely flat agricultural land well worth exploring. The area is renowned for its wildlife, quiet roads and an extensive network of rivers. Wicken Fen Nature Reserve is England’s most famous Fen and is home to wild ponies, otters and other rare plants and animals.

There are over 200 state-funded nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools in Cambridgeshire as well as 21 independent schools.

By train, Cambridge is just 1 hour from London Kings Cross and London Liverpool Street.

The county is crisscrossed by the A1(M) major road routes, the A14 which links to the M11, the A10 and A11.

The international airport at Stansted is within an hour’s train journey of Cambridge.

Cambridge’s town provides excellent shopping opportunities with three large shopping centres, wide pedestrianized shopping streets, and a thriving market with stalls selling local produce and delicious street food.

Visitors to Peterborough will find a large range of coffee shops, restaurants, independent shops and high street brands along the cobbled streets surrounding the Cathedral Square. Peterborough is also home to the Queensgate Shopping Centre, a leading shopping destination with over 100 stores including big high street names and smaller boutique labels. A new £60 million extension is coming soon in 2021 bringing a 10 screen cinema and many new restaurants.

In Ely, there are several thriving markets including a general market on Thursdays, twice-monthly farmers’ markets and a Saturday craft market.

We believe Cambridgeshire is one of the best places to invest in UK rental property. The science and technological boom in Cambridgeshire has seen a rush in demand for good quality rental accommodation. Cambridge University offers perennial opportunities to landlords looking to tap into the student market.

House prices in the county are growing steadily, helped by fast trains to London and excellent schools, meaning that buy-to-let investors can also expect to benefit from capital growth.
