"I love how close it is to the high street: it’s so easy to pop out for groceries or for a coffee. It’s also got great travel links in to Cambridge- I’ve commuted to the Science Park on my bike most days for the last 5 years! It’s also beautifully peaceful with no road noise, because it’s tucked away on a private lane. I originally fell in love with the beautiful large kitchen, and that’s probably still my favourite space in the home."
