Prices drop rapidly as you go north from Cambridge, to the point that sensible JRs (the ones who don’t spaff their money away on PCPs on high-end motors) can afford to live out from Marham. Lots of very affordable places in the Fens too. Yes, they may be less desirable, but if the goal is to stop paying rent and accumulate some capital then there is choice available.
