St Ives is one of Cambridgeshire's best-loved locations. It has a huge amount to offer homebuyers, including a scenic riverside location, plenty of period properties, and great local amenities, to name just a few.

The town has a fascinating history. It was once an important location for trade, and this brought considerable wealth to its residents, which is evident when you view the large Tudor buildings, which still stand to this day. Further trading prosperity in the Victorian era secured St Ives' position as a sought-after place to call home, and its popularity hasn't dimmed since then.

The property market is diverse, featuring everything from smart modern flats to quaint period homes. This, combined with the proximity to several major roads, makes St Ives one of the county's best places to live in.
