Alconbury.
“Established village character with the A1 on the doorstep.”
Alconbury sits a couple of minutes off the A1 north of Huntingdon and has been here long before the dual carriageway was built. A traditional core around the church, the White Hart, and the village shop, with newer development extending around the edges. Strong commuter appeal both south (Huntingdon, Cambridge, London) and north (Peterborough), with the new Alconbury Weald enterprise park bringing employment to the doorstep.

Alconbury, in answers.
Where is Alconbury village?
Alconbury is a village in Huntingdonshire, a couple of minutes off the A1 north of Huntingdon. It sits on the historic Great North Road and predates the dual carriageway by several centuries. Peterborough is around 20 minutes north, Huntingdon 10 minutes south.
Is Alconbury different from Alconbury Weald?
Yes, they're neighbouring but distinct. Alconbury is the historic village with a traditional centre around the church, the White Hart and the village shop. Alconbury Weald is a brand new community being built on the former RAF Alconbury airfield, with modern energy efficient homes, a new primary school and an enterprise park. The two are within walking distance of each other but very different in character.
Is Alconbury a good place to commute from?
Yes. Alconbury is one of the better connected villages in the area. Immediate A1 access means easy travel south to London and north to Peterborough, and Huntingdon Station (10 minutes by car) gives direct trains to King's Cross in under an hour.
What is the average house price in Alconbury?
The median sold price in Alconbury is around £330,000, more affordable than the villages closer to Cambridge, partly reflecting the more functional commuter character and partly the wider mix of housing stock.

Alconbury Church of England Primary School is the village primary, rated Good by Ofsted. Secondary age children are in catchment for Sawtry Village Academy. Alconbury Weald has also recently opened its own primary academy, which serves the new development.
