About This Property

Discover what makes this home special

Leamington is a charming three-bedroom detached house situated in a semi-rural location near Little Downham, East Cambridgeshire. Priced at £520,000, this property offers a peaceful lifestyle with generous living spaces and a private rear garden facing southeast, ideal for morning and early afternoon sunlight. The house benefits from two bathrooms, including an en-suite, making it well-suited for families or professionals seeking tranquility away from urban bustle.

Despite its countryside setting, Leamington is within reasonable driving distance to the historic city of Cambridge, providing access to world-class educational institutions, cultural amenities, and employment hubs. The nearby Ely Railway Station offers rail connections to London and other major cities, though local public transport options are limited, making car ownership essential. Future infrastructure improvements along the A10 corridor are expected to enhance connectivity and support moderate growth in the area.
