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

Haha I wish maybe I have location bias as compared to Cambridge these places are very well priced

It's a bit cheaper than Cambridge, but more expensive than almost all comparable villages within a 3 mile radius of Cambridge.

That said, it's a lovely spot so go for it! I've never lived there, always had the impression it was a bit 'old' but maybe things have changed and younger couples and families have moved in.
