The Plough from the Coton recreation ground
by Cmglee
Coton, a charming village just west of Cambridge, offers a peaceful rural lifestyle with easy access to the city. The village features a mix of historic and modern homes, making it an appealing choice for a variety of homeowners.
Traditional properties can be found along High Street, Church Lane, and Whitwell Way. These include characterful period cottages and older farmhouses, some with timber framing, thatched or tiled roofs, and original features like exposed beams and traditional fireplaces. While these homes are full of charm, they may require maintenance such as damp treatment, roof repairs, or the restoration of period details to keep them in good condition.
With its friendly community, local pub, garden centre, and excellent access to countryside walks—including the Coton Footpath into Cambridge—Coton is a desirable location for those seeking a balance between village charm and city convenience.

Contract administration is the process of managing agreements between parties, such as for building or renovation work.

Once the project begins, contract administration helps track progress, ensure deadlines are met, and resolve any issues to keep everything on track.
