Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

We are open to all offers at any time.
We are especially interested in New York at any time, California in September/October and Australia during the UK winter months.
We can offer a simultaneous or non-simultaneous exchange and our car is included.
Our house offers a peaceful location on the border of the city and the countryside and provides an excellent base for exploring East Anglia and is also within easy reach of London for day trips.
The house is a light and airy modernised Edwardian terraced property, situated on a very quiet road (a cul-de-sac) in the district of Newnham, within the city of Cambridge. It has a large kitchen/diner which opens on to patio decking and small garden, two sitting rooms, one with office space and another on the first floor with bay-window views along the avenue. There are two double bedrooms, the one on the second floor having a small en-suite and sky views. On the first floor there is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and a small double and a single bedroom.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

The location of the house is ideal being within a 15 minute walk to the centre of Cambridge along the River Cam and 5 minutes to the open countryside of Grantchester Meadows, which provides a lovely area for walking along the river, biking, punting and picnics. We are less than half an hour's walk or 10 minutes by car to the station for regular, fast trains to London (52 minutes).
The area, Newnham Croft, has great charm, and has been voted, "..the best place to live in Britain", by The Sunday Times newspaper! It is within Cambridge, but has the feel of a village with local shops, a nature reserve, a large park and riverside walks

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Nearby there are many places of interest which can be enjoyed at all times of the year. Cambridge itself has many historic buildings including King's College Chapel, the colleges themselves, as well as many museums, cinemas, galleries, theatres and cultural events, especially musical. The village of Grantchester, made famous by the poet Rupert Brooke, is within walking distance with tea rooms and country pubs.
Cambridge has good shopping, an open air market and sporting facilities, including indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
Historic towns such as Ely (famous for its cathedral), Newmarket (home of horse racing) and Saffron Walden (ancient market town) are within an hour's journey by car. Further afield Norwich (1.5 hours) is easily accessible, as is the coast of East Anglia (2 hours). The local and wider areas have many important nature reserves.
London is 50 minutes by train and it is possible to visit the theatre and return to Cambridge on the same evening.
