LOCATION - ASHWELL
Ashwell is a quintessentially English parish village, nestled in north Hertfordshire, 4 miles from the town of Baldock, 7 miles from the town of Royston and 20 miles from the city of Cambridge. It's situated on the chalk scarp on the spring line, and the springs are one of the sources of the River Cam. Residents and visitors can visit the freshwater springs, which are part of a 0.3-hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest, and enjoy the various opportunities to relax and explore the landscape.

The village has a wealth of well-preserved architecture, spanning several centuries, including St. Mary's Church, dating back to the 14th Century, and the museum, covering all manner of wondrous curiosities relating to the village and its history. There is a thriving community with meetings and activities planned most nights, three pubs, offering a relaxed atmosphere and good food, a dentists surgery, a primary school, a pharmacy, and a variety of shops, galleries and takeaway restaurants.

Ashwell village is also renowned for its peaceful footpath network, perfect for enjoying the countryside, taking long walks with your dog and observing the local wildlife. There are also several successful sports teams for under-12s up to veterans, and many other societies and clubs catering to most interests. The village hall is also available for hire and is well-equipped for a variety of functions.

The village has its own railway station, providing direct links to both Cambridge and London, and the nearby town of Royston also offers further excellent transport links, with a mainline train station offering regular fast services if required. The A1M and M11 are within a 20-minute drive via the A10/A505, and London Stansted and Luton Airports are both 30-minutes away.

To truly appreciate what this lovely village has to offer, we invite all potential buyers to visit and explore the local area. You won't be disappointed!
