Taking only 20 minutes via train to get to Cambridge, at a reasonably low price – living in Royston and travelling to Cambridge is a simple solution for those commuters! If you work in London or are thinking of finding a job in London then it takes only 39 minutes to travel from Royston to Kings Cross via train during peak times. Although slower trains only take between 45 minutes and an hour – meaning even a weekend trip into the city is quick and easy!

Vendors View
We have lived in 92 Melbourn Road since 2002, and have raised our children here, created and grown a business here, and have made many changes inside and outside to our house. I think the size has been perfect for hosting family events, not just the space in the house, but the garden too, and it is our mini get away just off Melbourn Road! Summer in the garden is fantastic, and winter with two real fireplaces, is perfect. Great for Christmas! It has been a perfect location for work, and has great access to motorways and trains, as well as quick access to Cambridge and London. There is a good sense of community in Royston, and so many people feel it is a great place to live. Royston Heath is fantastic for walks and picnics, and we have many independent shops and restaurants. We know you will love the location and space, either in the house or in the garden.
