Fulbourn & Teversham in South Cambridgeshire
Living in Fulbourn & Teversham
South Cambridgeshire 011 sits in one of the most prosperous corners of the East of England, and daily life here reflects that. It's an area where owner-occupation dominates — nearly two thirds of homes are owned outright or with a mortgage — and the general feel is settled and family-oriented rather than transient. Greenspace is genuinely close, with the nearest accessible green space averaging under 650 metres away.
The cost picture is notable. At around £1,270 a month for a two-bedroom home, rents are above the UK national median of roughly £1,200 for the same size property, though still well below what you'd pay in London. The bigger challenge is getting on the property ladder: the median home price sits at around £494,000, which puts a deposit around five to six years' worth of savings away for a typical resident. Rents rose around 4% over the past year, so the gap isn't closing quickly.
The people who live here skew educated and professional. More than half of residents hold a degree-level qualification, and the median resident salary — roughly £42,700 a year — reflects that. Unusually for a residential area, a very high share of residents work from home: over four in ten, which is well above the national norm. That makes the area particularly appealing for remote workers who want space and greenery rather than a short commute.
For those who do commute, the nearest mainline rail station is roughly 4.9 km away in a straight line — about a 60-minute walk, so most residents drive to the station. Public transport mode share is low at around 5%, while cars account for nearly 40% of journeys. Broadband is strong: nearly 90% of premises have gigabit-capable connections, and no premises fall below the Universal Service Obligation standard. See the streets and sub-areas below for more.
