Loves Close, Histon, Cambridge

A bright, well presented one bedroom, ground floor corner flat with off road parking. Situated within the heart of the village and perfectly placed for access to the local amenities. Ideal as a first time purchase and sold with the benefit of no onward chain.

The property enjoys arguably the best position within the development, being tucked away in the corner and enjoying a rather private and sunny area of the communal gardens.

Histon is widely acknowledged as being one of the most sought-after villages north of Cambridge. Its particularly convenient location, just 3 miles from the city centre, adds to its popularity and the A14 and M11 are within a few minutes drive. The village boasts many local facilities including excellent schooling for all ages from pre-school to sixth form. Good local shopping is available in the village and there is a regular bus service to Cambridge. Histon is served by Cambridgeshire County Council's Guided Busway with an estimated journey time to the Science Park of approximately 3 minutes. Pedestrians, cyclists will also benefit from a bridleway running all the way from Cambridge Science Park to St. Ives along the route of the Guided Busway.
