Overlooking a lightly wooded green to the front and secluded by its part-walled garden to the rear, this exceptional four bedroom family home has a studio annexe, with fitted kitchenette and separate boiler making it ideal as a nanny flat. The house itself has outstanding environmental credentials with triple glazing, solar panels and heat exchanger, giving it a minimal carbon footprint.
| Environmental Credentials | The home has a range of high spec environmental credentials. The windows throughout the main house are triple glazed for improved heat and sound insulation. Solar panels provide electricity and an income to the property, while LED lighting in several rooms keep electricity use to a minimum. A PVC heat exchange panel provides supplementary water heating, reducing the need to heat water using the boiler. There is a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system, which reduces the need for heating and increases the environmental efficiency of the property. The location of the property enables you to live a fully environmentally conscious lifestyle - Cambridge City Centre, Addenbrookes, ARM in Fulbourn, the Biomedical Campus with AstraZeneca - all are within easy cycling distance. Waitrose is within walking distance, as is the Park and Ride, giving access to extensive public transport, so you can keep car use almost down to nothing, if you choose.
