This highly convenient location is ideal for those who want easy access to the city while enjoying more space than typically found in urban homes, both inside and out.

Harston is the first village coming south out of Cambridge on the A10 and has an excellent range of day-to-day facilities, plus exceptionally easy road links both into the city and south towards Royston and London.
A new purpose-built, road traffic-free cycle route has recently opened that leads over the M11, into Trumpington, and on to the city. There is also a regular bus service, which is a most useful asset.
The village is the right side of town for the Addenbrooke's Campus, the science parks at Melbourn, Abington, and Great Chesterford, and Foxton's mainline railway station to Cambridge (approximately 13 minutes) and London Kings Cross (less than 1 hour) is within 2 miles.
Within the parish, there is an Ofsted 'Good' rated primary school, a restaurant, doctor's surgery with dispensary, an excellent local shop with a Post Office counter, village hall, hairdresser, petrol filling station, and a large recreation ground with a recently improved children's playground.
