About this property

Nestled in the affluent village of Harston, a stone's throw away from the vibrant University city of Cambridge, rests this remarkable holiday home, The Limes. Boasting a striking Victorian exterior and offering a warming and homely setting, The Limes is an idyllic base for your next group celebration. A spacious driveway greets you at the foot of this lovely dwelling, making loading and unloading an easy task, leading you over the threshold and into a delightful hallway space, offering handy storage to kick off your shoes and house your belongings away from the main living areas. Unwind with a leisurely seat in front of the television in the nearby sitting room, beautifully decorated with traditional character, with an exposed stone fireplace and original wooden floorboards, creating a warming ambiance to relax with a cup of tea following an action-packed day. Be charmed by the stylish newly renovated kitchen, flooded with light welcomed in through the elegant bifold doors and housing all of the modern amenities necessary to prepare a heart-warming meal for the group. Gather your loved ones around the grand dining table taking centre stage in the conservatory and indulge in your culinary delights enveloped in the tranquil view of the surrounding greenery of the garden, or if you're lucky enough to experience the warmer weather, step outside and enjoy a spot of alfresco dining on the patio, toasting a glass of fizz to an unforgettable holiday. Escape the excitement and enjoy a solace retreat to the second sitting room, catching up on your favourite show as you tune into the television, or delving into the pages of a captivating book for a moment of peace. Resting on the ground-floor is the first of six bedrooms, fit with a sumptuous double bed, serviced by a neighbouring cloakroom, offering the ideal sleeping arrangements for guests with limited mobility. Climbing the stairs to the first floor, you'll find three double rooms alongside a twin, all beautifully decorated with a neutral and calming interior, with one of the double rooms benefiting from its own en-suite shower. Tucked away on the second floor is the fabulous master room, boasting a double bed and a fabulous en-suite bathroom. In the morning, prepare for a new day with a luxurious soak in the elegant roll-top bath featured in the contemporary family bathroom, or if you'd prefer, jump in the shower for a quick rinse before heading out on an adventure. Get better acquainted with your surroundings and take the short stroll into the heart of Harston, where the long street of the quaint village homes a well-stocked convenience store, perfect for picking up any last-minute ingredients, as well as a traditional country pub, with the quirky twist of serving authentic Thai food. Spend a fun-filled day meeting the wildlife at Shepreth Wildlife Park, or if that's not your thing, discover the fascinating exhibits of warfare on display at IWM Duxford. Venture further afield to the nearby city of Cambridge, home to the world renowned Cambridge University, where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the colourful Botanic Gardens, marvel at the striking architecture of the medieval 12th century Round Church, or embark on a cruise on the tranquil waters of the River Cam. Whether you're looking to unwind or experience adventure, The Limes is a base that you'll be delighted to return home to.
