The rear garden is designed for low-maintenance living, with a paved terrace and climbing roses providing colour and interest. A timber shed offers useful storage, and a side gate gives access to a shared pathway for bins and bicycles.

This is a beautifully balanced home modern in design yet with character details, and perfectly placed for easy access to the city centre, station and local amenities.

Cavendish Place is set in the heart of Romsey Town, one of Cambridge’s most vibrant and sought-after neighbourhoods. Known for its cosmopolitan character, independent spirit and strong community feel, the Mill Road area has long been celebrated as one of the city’s most exciting places to live.

Mill Road itself is bustling with independent shops, cafés, delicatessens, restaurants and bars, offering everything from artisan coffee and fresh produce to international cuisine. Tucked among the surrounding streets are some of Cambridge’s most characterful pubs, alongside takeaways and live music venues, giving the area a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, Parker’s Piece, Coleridge and Vinery Recreation Grounds and the beautiful Botanic Gardens are all within easy reach, offering green spaces for sport, relaxation and community events. Everyday amenities are close at hand too, with supermarkets, gyms, galleries and healthcare facilities all nearby.

Families benefit from well-regarded local schools, while professionals are perfectly placed for access to the University, Addenbrooke’s Hospital, and the city’s main business hubs. Cambridge railway station is just a short walk or cycle away, providing fast and direct connections to London King’s Cross and Liverpool Street.

Romsey Town’s rich history as a Victorian suburb built to house railway workers has shaped its distinctive streetscape, and today its blend of period architecture, cultural diversity and independent businesses makes it one of Cambridge’s most desirable and dynamic locations.
