Home of the Day – Studio at Aura, Countryside

The WhatHouse? team reports on our current favourite new home for sale right now – today, we pick a studio apartment at Aura, a Countryside development in Trumpington, the major development taking shape in Great Kneighton, just south of Cambridge.

Only recently released, the collection of these ‘suites’ has been very popular with buyers buying their first home or getting a pied-a-terre within very easy reach of the university city and its growing employment opportunities in sectors such as technology and medicine. Plot 141 is the last studio available in The Brooke Building, located on the second floor and priced £249,950. Help to Buy can be used on this property if it’s your main home.

The most is made of its 427-sq-ft floor space. It’s double-aspect, so there’s an abundance of light including glazed access to private balcony. The kitchen comes with a full range of appliance, including washer/dryer and a dishwasher. The high-quality worktop sets a standard that is matched by things such as chrome fittings and Amtico flooring. There’s a shower over the bath and a couple of useful cupboards around the main living space, as well as built-in wardrobes.

This whole new residential area has been planned with modern architectural design at its centre. At the heart of the development is Hobson’s Square, which will provide a range of shops, and a new community building with amenities such as meeting rooms, a public library, exercise studio, café and health centre. Hobson’s Country Park is 120 acres of open space, allotments, ponds, adventure play areas and a bird reserve.

This is all just three miles from the city centre, which can be easily reached via public transport or on dedicated pedestrian/cycle paths. Cambridge has first-class transport connecrion, including the M11 and direct railway services taking 50 minutes to London King’s Cross.

The new show home at Aura is open daily between 10.00am and 5.00pm, For further information, visit www.countrysideproperties.com or call the sales team on 01223 850915.
