Nice area, my mum and dad built a place in Brington near you and my dad is still there.
If you're ever up in the area and 'lockdown' permits a meet-up, let us know.

A shade under a million quid gets you a three bed, one bath, Victorian terrace, with a postage stamp-sized garden that's a few minutes walk from the train station and a few minutes cycle from the Fitzwilliam. Some of the villages nearby are pretty, but property is far from cheap within a 20minute drive radius.
More daylight in the summer. No midges in most of the country only upper west coast and far north. The house buying system is also far better than in England. Winters are rarely ferocious and on the East coast we have drier weather than most places in England.
It is pretty and empty though.

The downside is it gets busy with tourists in the summer
Indeed there are, but prices are, generally, pretty elevated for the size and quality of the property you get. Some of the new build flats around Trumpington were, off plan, north of 600k for two beds, a small terrace, and a parking spot.There’s a lot of property in Cambridge far cheaper than that.
That sounds like Mill or Hills Road.
Hastings is the best place in the world
Summer in Scotland is about a month long?
There are midges most places I have been, and they eat me.
we have mates next to KnockHill racetrack and they have plenty of midges.
They have been snowed in for days, so your information is inaccurate compared to my experience.
I only live here. What would I know.
@sideshowbob
what are "amazing freaks"?
by the sea is almost always good, just by virtue of the sea.
Yep. Purely a thought experiment at the mo. Shan't be moving anywhere this week (/month/year/...decade probably)
Agreed, always liked the sound of Dungeness myself.
The air in London is dramatically better than it was last century. The end of diesel and move to electric transportation will improve it further this decade.
There are numerous parks in London. The thing about gardens is you spend your life looking after them.
