7 Location Situated about 1 mile west of the heart of the city centre and just beyond Storey's Way, the property is conveniently placed for many of the colleges and University Departments and is within walking distance of King's College School and St John's College School in nearby Grange Road. Cambridge provides an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, colleges, winding lanes, excellent shopping facilities and the tree lined River Cam. It has also become the centre of the "high-tech" and "bio-tech" industries with the University Research and Development Laboratories, the internationally renowned Cambridge Science Park and Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus. London commuters are well served with a mainline railway station about 2 miles away providing services to King's Cross and Liverpool Street in about 52 minutes and 68 minutes respectively and the M11 (Junction 13) is about 1 mile away providing access to Stansted Airport and the M25. Potential Building Plot The rear garden fronts onto All Souls Lane, which is a private road owned by the church. Subject to obtaining a right of way for access and planning permission, there would appear to be adequate space to build an additional dwelling. The sellers do not wish to develop the plot themselves and will only sell the property as a whole, so that a future owner can decide whether or not to exploit the potential.
