Area:

Cottenham is one of the larger villages surrounding the city of Cambridge. The property is situated in a prime location in the heart of the village, bordered by the civil parish of Histon and Impington to the south.

Amenities:

As a relatively large village, Cottenham has numerous amenities including two gp surgeries, a dental surgery, public library, Co-operative store, pharmacy, butcher, bakery, greengrocers, two newsagents (one of which now incorporates the Post Office) a primary school, and a secondary school and adult education centre combined in Cottenham Village College. There are numerous other small businesses, organisations and charities present in the village. Cottenham has four remaining public houses: The Chequers, The Hop Bind, The Jolly Millers (temporarily closed) and The Waggon and Horses. Cottenham also has a fish and chip shop and Chinese takeaway, as well as a curry house established in the former White Horse public house. The Cottenham Community Centre (CCC) and coffee shop is on the High Street on the site of the old Methodist church, opposite the Co-op.

The recreation ground is located off Lamb‘s Lane and is home to Cottenham United Football Club, Cottenham Cricket Club and a bowling green and tennis club.

The Village College provides a gymnasium, sports centre and field, 3G pitch and tennis courts for the community. The college is also home to the Cottenham Renegades, north Cambridge‘s only rugby-for-pleasure club; the team is also affiliated with The Cottenham Club.

For the commuter there are fast and frequent train services from both Ely, Waterbeach and Cambridge, serving London‘s Kings Cross and Liverpool Street Stations. There is also ready access to the A14, A11 and M11 with Stansted Airport being just approximately 45 miles distant. The property is conveniently located 6 miles from Cambridge and 9 miles from Ely.

The village is directly connected by road to Cambridge by the B1049, with rail links to London at Waterbeach, accessible via Beach Road. Cycle commuters from Cottenham make use of a shared pedestrian and cycle track that lies between Cottenham and Histon, which is to be expanded towards Cambridge in 2018. Cottenham lies four miles north-west of Cambridge Science Park and Cambridge Business Park, both accessible by car and by the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, which has an adjacent commuter cycle track. Cottenham also lies directly west of Cambridge Research Park, with bus services linking the village to Cambridge, Ely and to neighbouring Fen Edge villages.

Cottenham Racecourse

Horse riding is relatively popular in the parish, with numerous maintained bridleways and riding clubs. A racecourse lies directly to the east of the village at Mason‘s Pasture off Beach Road. The University of Cambridge horse racing clubs have been riding at Mason‘s Pasture since the late 18th century. The Grand National Hunt Steeple Chase, now held at the Cheltenham Festival, was staged there in 1870 and 1877. A permanent course was laid out in the 1880s and the land bought by the parish in 1918, with the grandstand rebuilt in 1923. The racecourse is used for three point-to-point race meetings each year, usually in January, February and March
