Both non-smokers Our semi-detached Edwardian
house (which retains most of
its original features), is set
between the town centre and
suburbs. Centrally heated with
two
double bedrooms (master with

lavatory off kitchen. A large
hall leads to dining room with
French doors opening through
to a comfortable sitting room
with multi-fuel stove,

rear landscaped garden of
lawns, shrubs, trees, pergola,
small pond and vegetable patch
(someone will come in and do
the lawns and watering) Friendly, helpful neighbours;
many amenities within five
minutes walk, including bus
stops, shops, theatre,
restaurants, bowling alley,
cinema, and easy access to
London (rail station 10
minutes walk) and motorway
network within 5 miles. London
(Stansted) airport -
40 minutes by train.
We would like to exchange cars
where appropriate. A 20 minute walk takes you to
the historic centre of
Cambridge which is a
relatively small town and
easily walked around without
having to use transport.
There’s a market every day in
the centre and good shops.
Apart from the university
buildings, colleges, punting
on the Cam and the beautiful
college backs, visit the
Fitzwilliam Museum, Folk
Museum, Kettle's Yard
Gallery, College museums,
antique shops, The Scott
Polar Institute, the Round
Church and the Rubens in
King’s College Chapel. There’s
an art cinema and dozens of
good restaurants/pubs/cafes.
Lovely river walks, including
Grantchester meadows to take
tea in the Orchard Tea Rooms
and see the church clock made
famous by Rupert Brook. East
Anglia is well-known for its
many beautiful villages and
Norman churches, and the
cathedrals at Bury St. Edmunds
and Ely (within 30 miles drive
but easily accessed by rail).
Newmarket stud & race course
is 30 minutes
away and the Imperial war
museum (aircraft) 20 minutes
away.Additional photos on request. Looking to exchange to
Amsterdam and Gozo/Malta in
2011John & Judy Saunders. |
