LOCATION

Swavesey is a vibrant and well-connected village that offers a wonderful balance of community spirit and convenience. Popular with families, it is home to a highly regarded primary school and the Outstanding-rated Swavesey Village College, both of which have strong reputations for academic success and extracurricular opportunities. The village enjoys a charming setting centred around an historic market square, where you’ll find a thatched village shop, convenience store with post office, coffee shop, butchers, and a welcoming pub serving real ales.

The community is active and friendly, with various churches, local groups, and an attractive pavilion on the village green that hosts events and gatherings throughout the year. For outdoor enthusiasts, Swavesey borders the beautiful RSPB Fen Drayton Lakes Nature Reserve, offering miles of scenic walks, cycling routes, and opportunities for birdwatching along the River Great Ouse.

Transport connections are excellent. The village benefits from its own stop on the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, providing fast and direct links to St Ives, Cambridge city centre, and Addenbrooke’s Hospital. The parallel cycle path is also popular with commuters and recreational users alike. With the completion of the A14 upgrade, travel times have been significantly improved, and residents now enjoy smoother traffic flow, better cycle routes, and easy access to nearby towns and major road networks. Swavesey perfectly combines rural village charm with modern accessibility, making it a highly desirable place to live.
