4 Bed detached home in Godmanchester, close to Cambridge

Leisurely trips along the river, picturesque walks and cycle rides, Gastro pubs, and nearby cities with plenty of history? welcome to Godmanchester! Based on the outskirts of Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, Godmanchester has the best of both worlds ? the peace and quiet of the country but still only a 40-minute train ride from London and a 20-minute car journey from the historical city of Cambridge. Stansted and Luton airports are less than 60 minutes by car. Built along the the river, Godmanchester was chartered as a town back in 1212, but has retained a village feel, with its own pubs, Chinese/Malaysian restaurant, café, and convenience stores. It's best-known feature is the Chinese Bridge, connecting it to Britain's largest meadow, where you can amble along the river before stopping for a well-earned rest at Brampton Mill. Boat hire can be arranged from the marina at Huntingdon. Huntingdon (the birthplace of Oliver Cromwell) has two specialist wine shops; a 24-hour supermarket, a multiplex cinema, and High Street stores such as Next, Mothercare, and Waitrose. Huntingdon's train station connects to London in the South and the Midlands and Scotland in the North. Places of interest include Huntingdon Racecourse; Cambridge; and nearby Ely, a stunning Cathedral town on the river; Wood Green Animal Shelter, Hinchingbroke Country Park and Grafham Water.
