Homes in Huntingdon
Huntingdon is a market town on the River Great Ouse, the birthplace of Oliver Cromwell. Its centre has Georgian and older buildings, and Godmanchester, across the medieval bridge, has timber-framed and Georgian houses in a conservation area. Hinchingbrooke House, Cromwell's family home, is now a school on the western edge of town.
The town expanded with London overspill estates in the 1960s, notably Oxmoor, and post-war estates such as Hartford and Stukeley Meadows. Newer developments have been built on the town's edges, including large ones at Alconbury Weald. The Great Ouse floods regularly, and Port Holme meadow between Huntingdon and Godmanchester is one of the largest flood meadows in England. The town sits on clay soils that can shrink near trees. Hartford and Brampton offer popular village-style homes, and the town has fast trains to London on the East Coast Main Line. Expect many 1960s and 1970s homes needing updates.
Areas we cover include Godmanchester, Hartford, Brampton, Oxmoor, Stukeley Meadows, Hinchingbrooke.
