Riverside Retreat on the Cam – Spacious Family Home with Garden and Playroom

Enjoy stunning views of the River Cam from this bright, open-plan family home. Perfect for relaxing or entertaining, the house features a large garden which looks on to the River Cam, perfect for soaking up the peaceful riverside setting.

Inside, the living area flows seamlessly between kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces, creating a welcoming hub for families and friends. A dedicated playroom keeps little ones happy, while a full-size projector makes movie nights unforgettable.

This attractive and well-presented home offers a rare opportunity to live directly beside the River Cam. The downstairs living areas and main bedroom enjoy uninterrupted views over the water, where you can often watch local and university rowing crews gliding past. The river is also frequented by swans, herons, and ducks, creating a peaceful and picturesque backdrop throughout the year.

Inside, the property features bright and spacious living spaces, a well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms. Large windows make the most of the riverside setting, filling the home with natural light.

Located in a desirable area with convenient access to local amenities, transport links, and scenic walking routes along the Cam, this property is ideal for professionals, couples, or anyone seeking a calm and characterful place to call home.

This is not an empty commercial house - this is our home, which was rebuilt in 2022! You will find the cupboards full of utensils, condiments and sauces to help yourself. Books to borrow and toys for entertaining small friends.
