Vendors perspective: The property is in a quiet cul-de-sac location with a helpful community, just 2 minutes from a bridleway walk across open countryside and the cycle path into Cambridge can be joined at the end of the road. As a family, we moved to the village primarily because of the excellent schooling and we chose the house because of the space it offered and the private rear garden which is a lovely space for children to play and for entertaining. The village has all the essentials, with its amenities within walking distance.

Agents note: The property is on a private road with an annual service charge due on the 1st of April each year. In April 2024 this was £625
