The typical property in CB23
CB23 covers Cambourne and the western Cambridge fringe villages, postwar planned community and surrounding commuter belt.
Area summary
CB23 sits in South Cambridgeshire District Council. The outcode covers Cambourne (a new town built from 1998 onwards), Bourn, Toft, Comberton and surrounding villages west of Cambridge. Cambourne was designed as a planned community with around 4,000 homes built across multiple phases (Great Cambourne, Lower Cambourne, Upper Cambourne). Housing is mixed: older village cottages in surrounding villages, and overwhelmingly modern (post-1998) detached, semi-detached and apartment development in Cambourne itself.
There is no station in Cambourne (a station has been proposed as part of the East-West Rail project but is not yet built). The closest mainline stations are Cambridge (CB1) and St Neots (in PE19). The A428 runs through the outcode.
Employment patterns are commuter into Cambridge, with the wider biomedical and tech cluster as primary destinations.
South Cambridgeshire District operates only mandatory HMO licensing. The Renters' Rights Act 2026 has abolished Section 21 evictions. The proposed 2030 EPC C standard, if enacted, will be more manageable on the newer Cambourne stock.
