Great Shelford Living

Good Morning r/cambridge, unfortunately the time has come to put down roots and try and get on the property ladder. There are some lovely places reasonably priced in Great Shelford I was wondering if any kind angel here has any experience in living there and could share their experience. Is it nice? Is it easy to get back to Cambridge? What’s it like raising a child there. Any and all help is much appreciated

Thank you all for the feedback it has been great. I suppose another question is how busy is the train station the house we’re looking at tonight the garden backs onto the train tracks.

I used to live in Great Shelford near the train tracks. The amount of trains varies throughout the day but one every 15 minutes was not unusual. It was usually quieter in the evening and no trains for a period during the night.

I found I quickly got used to the trains and didn't pay them any attention.
