Finding Histon unaffordable? Here’s an idea …

Due to a move abroad, I’m reluctantly selling my lovely, peaceful two-bedroom flat in the centre of Histon, so if you’ve been searching in vain for an affordable accommodation solution in the constantly booming Cambridgeshire property market, maybe it could be a good fit for you?

Always a popular village, in recent years demand for property in Histon has skyrocketed, and living here is sadly becoming an increasingly unaffordable option for many people. If you’d like to live in Histon, but have consigned it to the back-burner as financially out of reach, perhaps it’s time to start thinking outside the box …

You might not have considered purchasing a retirement property, but you could be missing out! Contrary to what many people believe, you don’t have to be very old – or indeed even retired – to buy a ‘retirement flat’. In the case of Windmill Grange, Histon, you just need to be aged 55 or over. So this could be the perfect affordable base for you if you’re still working in Cambridge, maybe at the Science Park or another location close by.

And, although Histon is a large, lively village, with plenty of facilities and activities on offer, No. 72 is a real oasis of peace and calm, just a few steps away from all that this most bustling of places has to offer – making it the best of both worlds!

Excellent transport links

There’s a regular conventional bus service, with a stop just a few steps from your front door, not to mention the fast guided busway service between St Ives and Cambridge North/Addenbrooke’s Hospital, which you can pick up at the dedicated stop in Impington – and of course there’s the popular cycle path alongside that, too. If you prefer to drive, Windmill Grange has a large private car park that’s free to use for residents and their visitors.
