Soham
Soham is the second largest town in East Cambridgeshire and is located between Ely (6 miles) and Newmarket (7 miles), both of which have a wide range of shopping and leisure facilities. The A142 has good connections with Cambridge via the A14.
Soham has its own range of local shops including the Co-Op & Asda and small eateries, pubs, hairdressers, leisure centre and doctors surgery. The town is a popular place to live for families due to the area’s proximity to Cambridge, Ely and Bury St Edmunds.

London Stansted airport is a 40-minute drive via the A11.

We have lived in East Cambridgeshire for over 20 years, raised our family here and have been involved with the community and local businesses during that time. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to be an Estate Agent, but it takes someone or preferably a team, with compassion, experience, knowledge, integrity and honesty to make it a real success. Moving home is one of the most stressful things we do in our lives and so we will always be here to provide a dedicated, professional and seamless service and to guide and advise you every step of the way. We will always strive to do the job to the best of our abilities.
