Swavesey itself has a diverse community and is popular with families, due to the successful Primary School and Outstanding Ofsted-rated Village College. There is a convenience store with Post Office and a thatched village shop situated in an historic market square, as well as various churches, a coffee shop, butchers and farm shop and a public house serving a wide range of real ales. On the green sits an attractive pavilion, used by the community. Swavesey is also fortunate to have the wonderful RSPB nature reserve at Fen Drayton lakes leading to miles of walks along the river and a stop for the guided bus. With the completion of the expansion to the A14, residents now benefit from better-flowing traffic, cycle paths and additional local byroads. The village also has a stop for the guided bus, which travels through the nature reserve to St Ives and Cambridge city centre and Addenbrookes. Parallel to the track is a cycle path which is popular for runners, cyclists and walkers.

Garden
To the rear of the property is an established, south/east facing garden which has been designed by the award-winning Adam Frost, known more recently as one of the presenters of Gardeners World. Within Adams's design, he has included a large circular lawn which is surrounded by well-stocked perennial borders, carefully selecting bulbs to offer an early flash of colour in Spring, followed by a continuous display of flowering shrubs and plants providing months of colour throughout the summer and into autumn. Within the borders, established garden trees offer shade and seclusion, and a path allows you to walk through the garden perimeter and on the paved terrace area, with a pergola and climbing Wisteria. There is also an additional paved patio area, which provides a perfect space for outdoor dining, and a well is an interesting central feature of the lawn area plus an additional decking area outside the French doors of the Studio.
