About this home

A magnificent family house of immense quality and style with accommodation over 3 floors extending to 3,544 sq ft (329.2 sq m) and including numerous exceptional features.

Cambridge City Centre and Mainline Railway Station 1.75 miles, M11 (junction 11) 1.5 miles, Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus 0.5 of a mile, Stansted Airport 27 miles, (distances are approximate).

This stunning, contemporary townhouse offers excellent accommodation over 3 floors, providing tremendous versatility, suitable for a variety of needs. The internal finish is stylish and beautifully presented and the well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings and large deep glazed windows are flooded with natural light. It was built in 2016 by Countryside Properties who, wherever possible, use viable, renewable, sustainable or recyclable sources in the construction of their homes.

There is a block paved driveway to front, area of lawn, bordered at either side by attractive shrubs. An electronically operated roller door leads to a Double Integral Garage 23'11" x 22' (7.28m x 6.71m) with power, light, personal door to utility room.

The rear garden is fully enclosed with timber fencing and mainly paved for ease of maintenance with areas of gravel borders planted with a variety of shrubs and Japanese Acers, resulting in a particularly tranquil space, ideal for relaxation and entertaining. The gardens enjoy an easterly aspect overlooking an established wooded area to the rear, creating a delightful backdrop to the property.

Plantation Avenue is situated in the highly acclaimed Aura development, which forms part of a unique new suburb on the south side of Cambridge known as Great Kneighton. This includes a central community square, excellent range of shops, secondary school education, library, doctors’ surgery and dentistry practice together with large open spaces including a 120 acre nature reserve, allotments, footpaths and leisure facilities. Cambridge city centre, with its attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, colleges, winding lanes and excellent shopping facilities, is easily accessible by bicycle or via the Cambridge Guided Busway which also connects with Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus, Cambridge Science Park, St Ives and Huntingdon. The property is also extremely well placed for access to a number of excellent state and independent schools, sixth form colleges in Long Road and Hills Road, the M11 for Stansted Airport and London and a mainline railway station with services to King’s Cross and Liverpool Street in 52 and 67 minutes respectively.

12 Plantation Avenue enjoys an excellent position on the eastern side of the development backing on to Hobson's Brook, a delightful, wooded area separating the property from the Country Park and Sports Playing fields beyond.
