Added: (Tue Aug 12 2008)

Pressbox (Press Release) - Good schools, shopping and transport links are attracting commuters to country houses in the village of Great Stukeley, the base of former Prime Minister John Major.


"It's a semi-rural village and a first-class place to live
for commuters, with really amazing communications," says Roger Stoneman of estate agents Peter Lane & Partners. "It takes three minutes to reach the A14, which gets you west and east, and five minutes to the A1. The train station at Huntingdon is within walking distance or five minutes by car."


A two-bedroom cottage costs about £180,000, a four-bedroom house could be bought for £300,000, and a period four/five-bedroom house ranges from £600,000 to just under £1 million. Travelling time is 15 minutes' walk or five minutes by car to Huntingdon station, from which the fast train takes 55 minutes to reach London King's Cross.
