A lovely little area. The village is quaint and the neighbours very friendly, though the local amenities are very limited.

We thought the work in the rest of the development would be finished quicker and I would have asked about this sooner.

The kitchen is light and the design is modern, while still having a homely feel to it.

Balsham is a little further from Cambridge than my last house. Bus service is fairly irregular - although i gave up using the bus in Cambridge as it was so hit and miss. Transport links are good (A11 / A14 / M11) and there are some good pub/restaurants in the village. Local shops are pretty limited, but Cambridge is not far.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

How long it was going to take. As mentioned before though, that was a COVID thing.

What is the best feature of your home:

The extra space and location of the new house is great.

A couple little shops in the village and also a coop nearby in Linton. Living on the street is lovely, though waiting for them to complete the final layer to the road yet. So it still looks somewhat unfinished. No anti social behaviour, very little traffic noise. Lovely quiet street with respectful neighbours.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

To check the concrete floor more- that it’s level. We complained about our floor on the ground floor not being level and they did the bear minimum and there were still areas that are uneven in our living room and hall.

Overall we’re very happy with the quality of the build.

Great location if you can drive, however there are not any bus routes and taxis can be expensive. The area is lovely and quiet. The village could do with a convenience store with more options as the post office is only open very short hours.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The area of Balsham has a high flood risk so ensure to get insurance.

What is the best feature of your home:

We have a good sized garden and bedrooms for a new build property.
