Why Move to Haverhill
An ancient market town, Haverhill is located on the Essex and Cambridgeshire borders but falls within the county of Suffolk. Convenient travel links make the town a sought-after commuter option. It lies approximately 22 miles from Bury St Edmunds, 14 miles from Cambridge, and 45 miles north of central London.
London Stansted Airport is around a 30-minute drive away and the M11 corridor offers access up and down the region. It offers an amazing community spirit that you will find few other places in Cambridgeshire or Suffolk provide, Haverhill was much smaller when the town’s market was first recorded in the Domesday Book of (1086). Now much larger, its bustling market still trades to this day on Fridays and Saturdays.
Following a planning review in 1956, Haverhill was targeted for expansion. This was primarily to resettle communities from London which had been devastated during the Second World War. Haverhill’s population expanded rapidly during this time and today has a population of around 22,000 in a borough of just over 100,000.
The relatively small-town centre is compact but busy. There are several cafes, eateries, and shops along with a number of well-known supermarkets nearby. However, Haverhill comes into its own when it comes to the outdoors. Residents have no shortage of stunning countryside locations, easy to access, and are perfect for an active lifestyle.
Haverhill’s economy is dominated by industry, and a large industrial area on the southern side of the town is home to many large manufacturing companies.
The town might well date back to Saxon times, but this forward-thinking, rapidly developing town is very much part of the 21st century.
