Aged 55 or over? Find security, calm and convenience in the centre of Histon …

I’m selling a lovely, peaceful two-bedroom flat with private parking, just off Histon High Street, so if you’re looking to move an older relative closer to you or you’ve been searching in vain for an affordable accommodation solution for yourself 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’re 55+ and 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, perhaps in Cambridge, the Science Park or another location close by.

Of course, if you’re looking for a ‘traditional’ retirement option yourself or a practical solution to bring an older relative closer to you, this fits the bill too!

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 bustling, friendly village has to offer – making it the best of both worlds!

Private parking and excellent transport links

If you’re a driver, the property benefits from managed private parking, free to use for residents and their visitors, just off Histon High Street – currently very sought after! If you prefer public transport, there’s also a regular conventional bus service, with a stop just a few steps from your front door, not to mention the 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.
