East aspect of St Mary's vicarage, a Grade II* listed building.
By Gwendraith
Ely, a historic cathedral city in Cambridgeshire, offers a diverse range of properties, from characterful period cottages and elegant Georgian townhouses to modern family homes and contemporary new-build developments. Older properties, particularly those along well-established roads such as Fore Hill, St. Mary's Street, and Silver Street, may require updates to roofing, plumbing, or electrical systems. Meanwhile, newer homes in developments like Kings Avenue, Cam Drive, and those around the Orchards Estate provide contemporary living with a variety of styles and layouts.
With excellent transport links via the A10 and direct rail connections to Cambridge, London, and Norwich, Ely is well-connected while retaining its peaceful, rural charm. Residents enjoy scenic riverside walks along the Great Ouse, a vibrant city centre with independent shops, cafés, and restaurants
