Nuestra casa

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio

We describe here our Cambridge home but a swap involving our daughter in Nelson, New Zealand may also be an option - let us know if interested.

Comfortable family home in a quiet close with 1 twin and 3 double bedrooms. It has spacious living / dining / conservatory area for all the family as well as a library/TV/exercise room. The kitchen includes a pull-out table for casual dining but you can also eat in the dining room, conservatory, summerhouse or patio. Take your choice.
There are three bath/shower rooms with toilets plus one toilet downstairs so nobody needs to wait long!
The good size garden is great for kids and includes a trampoline, with games equipment (badminton, table tennis, balls, inflatable pool etc) available from in the garage.
If the cherries or tomatoes (or anything else) are in season, help yourselves.
The centre of Cambridge is one mile away with easy access walking, cycling or by bus. Cambridge is a great place to explore.
We have an Audi A3 which we are willing to exchange if we can arrange insurance (which is not always easy with foreign visitors).

Barrio

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra

The Lawns is a quiet and safe area on the Western edge of the famous university city of Cambridge. We are just across the road from the university West site which is ideal for an evening stroll or for children to ride bikes off road and feed the ducks by the lake. With a temporary membership you can use the modern sports centre / gym on site.
We are also very close to the university observatory where you can stroll through the grounds, perhaps on your way to the supermarket which is less than a mile away on a cycle/walking route.
We are about one mile to the very centre of the city so it takes just 20 minutes to walk or 10 minutes by bike along a pleasant route which is largely off-road. You pass the university sports ground and main library, and cross the pictureque river Cam with views of various colleges including King's and St John's.
If you prefer to take the bus there is a bus stop a couple of hundred meters from the house which goes close to the city centre, passes the beautiful botanic gardens and also goes to the train station (London King's Cross station is a 50 minute train journey).
We have lots of adults' and children's bikes for you to use to explore the area. One option is to cycle or walk along the river-side meadows to Grantchester and enjoy a snack or meal in The Orchard. (Check out Grantchester on wikipedia.)
I'll not describe Cambridge - I suspect you have heard of it! (If not go to wikipedia again for history, climate etc.)

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa

Cambridge!
With 32 colleges and 50 departments you can't move far in Cambridge without seeing the university which dates from 1209. Many colleges can be visited (except during exam time) and apart from the popular ones this is free.
Of the 587 Nobel laureates worldwide 120 are associated with Cambridge university.
There are (about) 18 museums in Cambridge, many associated with the university, so just about any interest is represented.
With several venues for live shows and two multi-screen cinemas there is no lack of entertainment.
There are countless pubs, cafes and restaurants - too many to list but you will not go hungry or thirsty. Maybe try the The Eagle dating from 1666, which is where Watson and Crick anounced they had "discovered the secret of life" - DNA.
If you have young children with you there are numerous (free) public swing parks including one with a large paddling pool. For more excitement try one of the 'soft play' areas in or near Cambridge.

Check out some of the picturesque villages nearby, starting with Grantchester just 3 miles upstream from Cambridge.

Within about half an hour's drive you can reach:
- Angelsey abbey (National Trust)
- Wimpole estate including kids' farm (National Trust)
- Ickworth manor (Nation Trust)
- The Imperial War Museum at Duxford with planes from Spitfires to B52 and Concord
- Shepreth wildlife park - great for kids

Within an hour's drive you can reach
- Bletchley park, home of the code breakers and the first digital computer
- Milton Keynes for a touch of indoor skiing of indoors skydiving
- London on the train.

Oh dear, this list is getting too long. Just come and find out what a great place this is to visit.

We have three rescue hedgehogs in the garden which need food putting out each evening. Neighbours can help out if you will be away overnight.
Indoor plant care is not critical but if it is hot and dry a quick hosepipe session in the garden would be appreciated.
