“Having lived in Cambridge for over 30 years I knew that this was the premier area of the city in which to live. This area has easy access to excellent schools –

Milton Road Primary, Parkside and Chesterton

Secondary, and is in the catchment area for

Hills Road Sixth Form College. Also within easy

reach is the river and the city centre, with its

wide range of shops, cafés and restaurants,

theatres and cinemas, and other amenities”

“We have lived in the property for around 18 years and have been extremely happy here. We added a garage

which we use as a store room these days, and a large garden

room to enable us to sit indoors whilst enjoying the garden that we

designed together. When all of the plants and pots are in bloom,

our neighbours comment how lovely the garden is. After a few years

we added an area of decking, which feels like an extension of the

garden room, so that we could enjoy the summer sun, and it provides

additional space for us to entertain family and friends.” added Ian.

“The large bay windows ensure the house is light and airy, and the

location is peaceful, with usually only birdsong and occasional church bells to be

heard – astonishing for a property in the heart of the city.”


“The house has a great sense of balance. The property has different living spaces depending on the time of year. In the summer

it is light and airy, and in the winter the front room is cosy with its open fire. We have enjoyed entertaining and we had a full length

window fitted in the kitchen which opens out directly onto the decking, for ease of serving.”
