“The house was definitely in need of renovation when we bought it,” the owner, “and so over the years we’ve done an

awful lot of work to improve it further. I’m very

interested in interior design, so it now has quite

a contemporary feel throughout. We put in new

windows, installed bi-fold doors in the sitting

room, fitted new carpets and redecorated the

entire house.”

“It’s a split level house, so it has an interesting layout that we really like. For example, from the dining room,

steps lead down to the living room and the two spaces are

separated by an inglenook fireplace that is open on both sides.”

“It’s definitely not a run of the mill house, and that’s another

aspect that drew us to it.” “And because we are in a slightly

elevated position,” continues the owner, “almost every room enjoys

those wonderful views.”

insight


“We’ve done a lot of landscaping in the garden, both front and back, so although it’s a very large space it’s easy to maintain. We have five patio areas in

total, so we can follow the sun around all day long. The house actually has the feel

of a Spanish villa; when we sit out during the summer we often feel as if we are on

holiday.”


The Fairway is wonderfully quiet because of the golf course and the fact that there’s no passing traffic, the village has lots of wonderful facilities, and access into Cambridge, be it the city centre, the science park or the hospital, is so easy; if the traffic is good it’s no more

than five minutes into the centre. In my mind it would be the ideal property for a commuter.”

“We really have enjoyed living here, and if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s just a bit too big for the two of us we wouldn’t be moving. I’ve loved the position, the views, and the size and character of the house itself. It ticks a lot of boxes.”
