About Cottenham
Cottenham's a village with solid local schools — both rated Good by Ofsted — and house prices that sit well below Cambridge commuter hotspots like Histon & Impington. Crime dropped sharply in 2026 and now sits below the UK average. The low-lying Fenland location means air quality stays consistently good.
You've got a supermarket, butchers, and four pubs within easy reach. Pharmacies and the train station need a trip out though. Nearly half of residents work from home, and the B1049 gives you a direct road route into Cambridge if you need it.
