Whittlesford is a charming riverside village renowned for its attractive period homes, situated approximately 7½ miles south of Cambridge and around 8 miles north of Saffron Walden. In recent years, the village has become highly sought-after with commuters, thanks to its fast and regular rail service providing access to London Liverpool Street in under an hour.
The village enjoys a thriving community atmosphere, centred around “The Lawn” recreation ground with tennis courts and open green space. Local amenities include a village shop and the well-regarded The Tickell Arms public house.
