Three Ways to Make Country Living Work

Close to Cambridge, two dwellings and a separate studio open the door to multi-generational living, extra income, or simply more space for the whole family. The choices are yours!

The main four-bedroom home has country charm and well-proportioned living spaces, with a relaxed connection to the outdoors, elevated rural views and beautiful sunsets. A cosy nook by the fireplace and window seat provide inviting spots to curl up and enjoy the warmth of the fire, while opening the doors lets in the sounds of birds and fresh country air in. The deck creates an additional space to take in the outlook, whether you're stepping outside for a quiet moment or inviting friends around for a BBQ, while established gardens feature mature trees alongside avocado, lemon, tangelo, lime and mandarin trees to name but a few.

The additional two-bedroom accommodation brings plenty of versatility, whether for grandparents, extended family, guests or rental accommodation. The separate studio is a versatile bonus space offering yet another option for working from home, hobbies or simply as an additional space.

The 5090m² (more or less) section is a real asset. There's plenty of space giving everyone their own corner of the property and a welcome sense of independence.

With Cambridge just a short drive away, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: the convenience of town close by, with the space, privacy and outlook of a rural setting at home.

228 Norwegian Road offers genuine flexibility and the freedom to shape the property around the way you want to live.
