Homes in St Neots
St Neots is the largest town in Cambridgeshire, on the River Great Ouse. Its centre has a large market square and Georgian and Victorian buildings, and Eaton Socon and Eynesbury are older villages absorbed into the town. Some older buildings along the High Street and around the Priory Centre date from the eighteenth century.
St Neots expanded with London overspill estates in the 1960s and 1970s, and large new-build developments such as Loves Farm and Wintringham have added thousands of homes. The town has a railway station on the East Coast Main Line, making it popular with London commuters. The Great Ouse floods regularly, affecting low-lying areas near the river. The town sits on clay soils that can shrink near trees. Eaton Ford and Little Paxton are popular with families. Many overspill homes from the 1960s and 1970s now need updates to roofs, windows and heating.
Areas we cover include Eaton Socon, Eynesbury, Eaton Ford, Loves Farm, Wintringham, Little Paxton.
