The Location

Mortlock Gardens enjoys a village setting within Great Abington, with Cambridge city centre typically around ten minutes away by car, keeping both daily commuting and weekend plans straightforward. The village also sits close to Granta Park, a science, technology and biopharmaceutical park based on the bank of the River Granta at the edge of Great Abington. The idea for the park came from Bevan Braithwaite OBE, then chief executive of The Welding Institute, and it now supports a growing community of research led employers.

Families have a good spread of schooling nearby: Abington Primary sits within the village, while Linton Village College remains the closest secondary. Additional options include Great Abington Primary’s federation partner in Little Abington, Holme Court School for specialist provision, and The Perse Prep and Senior Schools in Cambridge for independent education.

Green space is easy to reach, with Abington Recreation Ground close by and Wandlebury Country Park offering woodland trails and open chalk grassland just a short drive along the A1307. Transport links are practical, with the A11 and A1307 connecting quickly towards Cambridge, Saffron Walden and Newmarket. Stansted Airport is also within reach, typically less than thirty minutes away by car.

The area supports a relaxed lifestyle, with countryside walks, local pubs and quick access to Cambridge’s cultural, academic and dining scene, giving Mortlock Gardens a well rounded mix of village calm and city convenience.
