Peterborough is also within commuting distance. There's a local train station too, with services to London Kings Cross taking less than 2 hours.

The River Great Ouse is the town's natural landmark ' with lovely riverside walks along its banks. The Memorial Park is just down the road, and the green space of the Willows Nature Reserve is near the river. It's really easy to head for the north Norfolk coast from here ' a treat of long sandy beaches and pretty seaside villages. 30 minutes inland, on the Norfolk-Suffolk border, the vast Thetford Forest is one big adventure.

4.0
Since the outbreak of Covid in 2020, the health and quality of life for ourselves and our families has become more of a priority than ever, and one of the fundamental considerations in choosing where we live. There are a host of ingredients in measuring this, and we calculate our Health & Wellbeing rating using many factors.
 Transport Links
4.4
Being within easy reach of people and places for work or leisure is a top consideration when choosing your brand new home. Can you commute easily by private or public transport, and are there routes to close by for the places you’ll want to go to? Would it be safe to leave the car at home and cycle somewhere instead? Are there convenient EV charging points in the local area?
 Mobile Connectivity
3.3
In our digital world, it’s ever more important to ensure the range and quality of services for phones and other devices can handle daily demands.  We calculate our mobile connectivity rating to include the strength and reliability of mobile signals and broadband speeds.
 Education and Amenities
4.0
Education and Amenities covers things which are vital to everyday life, whether it’s somewhere to buy groceries and other essentials, a place to enjoy leisure time and for families, an area with schooling which is easy to get to from home
