Highfields, East of England • England
Highfields sits in the CB postcode area of Cambridgeshire, in England's East of England region, within easy reach of Cambridge and the county's growing employment corridor. KrewBase houses contractor crews here in whole serviced houses and flats rather than hotel rooms: utilities, council tax and Wi-Fi are all in our name, and your company gets one monthly invoice for everything. Whether it's two people for a fortnight or twenty for six months, we shortlist property by drive time from your site and have crews checked in without the usual fuss.
Housing around Highfields is mostly modern estate stock and converted properties rather than old terraces, so crews tend to end up in three or four-bed houses with driveways and off-road parking — a proper advantage when vans are involved. We look for the properties that sit within a sensible drive of the main routes into Cambridge and the surrounding villages, where parking restrictions are light and there's space to dry wet gear. Gardens matter too, somewhere to keep site kit out of the living room.
Every place we shortlist is checked against the actual vehicles the crew will bring, not just the estate agent's description. If the parking doesn't work, the property doesn't go on the list. We also walk the route to the nearest shop and takeout, because a crew house that needs a car for a pint of milk gets old fast. Photos at check-in prove condition from day one.
This part of the East of England pulls in crews on housing developments, infrastructure work and commercial construction, with a steady flow of maintenance and fit-out jobs feeding off the growth around Cambridge. Healthcare and logistics contracts across Cambridgeshire also keep smaller crews in the area for weeks at a stretch. We keep the paperwork set up so a crew can extend from one phase of a job to the next without re-booking.
Because Highfields is a smaller place, we shortlist by drive time from your site rather than pinning everything to a single road. Crews here usually run into Cambridge, or out to the market towns and employment sites along the A14 and A10 corridors. Rail access into Cambridge station keeps anyone commuting by train sorted too. The nearest fuel and shop are noted on the handover sheet as well.
Tell us the site postcode when you enquire and the shortlist will be built around it — that's faster than any property listing. We'll note drive times at peak and off-peak so there are no surprises on the first morning. If the site moves mid-contract, we re-run the shortlist around the new postcode — crew moves are part of the job.
You get the whole property — not rooms in someone's house. Bills including council tax, gas, electric and broadband are in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and two-bathroom properties are supplied for crews of five or more. A weekly clean and fresh linen come as standard, and any maintenance goes straight to us, not your crew. Handover is a quick walk-round with photos, so any existing scuffs are logged and the deposit stays protected.
There's one monthly invoice for the company, payment by card as standard, no booking fees and no minimum crew size or stay length. Phone or message us the site postcode and crew size and we'll come back with a shortlist. References are simple — a company contact and the site details — and we can hold a property for a few days while paperwork catches up.
Send us the requirement — town, dates, headcount, vehicles and any shift pattern we should know about. We come back within 2 hours with a shortlist from property we already hold, not a search we have just started. You pick, we confirm, the crew moves in, and we stay on it for the length of the job. One monthly invoice, card payment for limited companies, no booking fees.
Send us the site postcode and crew size and we aim to come back within two hours with a workable shortlist of houses or flats. Once you pick one, we handle the booking, check-in instructions and bill setup, so the crew can usually move in the same week.
Yes — parking is one of the first things we filter for, because crews bring vans. We shortlist properties with driveways or unrestricted street space and check the parking against the actual vehicles you tell us about before anything is offered.
We do. Crews are often based across the surrounding Cambridgeshire villages and commuted in, so we shortlist by drive time from the site rather than sticking to one postcode. If a nearby village works better for parking or space, we'll offer it.
Everything rolls into one monthly invoice: rent, council tax, gas, electric, broadband, the weekly clean and linen. No split bills, no chasing individual crew members, and payment by card are standard. There are no booking fees on top. Costs can be split across cost codes if the job needs it.
No. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months. We set the property and the billing up to match the length of the job, and extending is usually just a message once you know the next phase dates.
Three things: the site postcode, the number of crew, and roughly how long you need the accommodation. Night-shift patterns help too, since we'll make sure parking and access suit workers coming and going at odd hours. That's enough to build the shortlist.

Highfields sits about 6 miles from Cambridge. Plenty of crews working here base themselves in the city and drive out, especially on longer jobs or when the local supply is thin. Our contractor accommodation Cambridge page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
