LOCATION

Longstanton is an area of interest to many buyers from Cambridge because of the advantage of the guided busway which runs every 7 minutes into Cambridge and then onto Cambridge station and Addenbrooke's hospital. The village is also only 2.5 miles from the A14 and 5 miles from the M11. 

There is a good community spirit within the village which holds various events including a local market and summer fayre. You can also find regular events and classes at the primary school or Northstowe Secondary School and regular sports events are held at the recreation ground and The Pavilion. 

Facilities in Longstanton include two nurseries (one private, one preschool at the primary school), a primary school, a village institute, doctors and dentist surgery, veterinary surgery, public house, village store with post office, fish and chip shop and a co-operative store.

There are several parks and a large green space, Northstowe Western Park, offering recreational activities within a minute’s walk.

The village will benefit further from a wider choice of facilities on offer from the neighbouring purpose-built town of Northstowe that is currently in development.
