Set within the Franklin Gardens development at Darwin Green, this three-storey Newman townhouse offers modern, energy-efficient family living a short cycle from central Cambridge. The ground floor opens to an open-plan kitchen/diner with utility and a flexible study — ideal for a home office or playroom. Upstairs, a dual-aspect lounge and two double bedrooms sit on the first floor; two further doubles and a family bathroom occupy the top floor alongside a private roof terrace.
Outdoor space is a real asset: a south-facing rear garden and top-floor terrace give sun exposure and an elevated view over adjacent landscaped green space. Off-street carport parking and an integrated garage add convenience for families or commuters. The house benefits from contemporary finishes, natural light and built-in energy-saving measures to reduce running costs.
Practical points to note: this is a new-build property so standard snagging and final finishes may remain; some buyers will want to budget for minor post-handover works. There is only one family bathroom for four bedrooms, which could be a constraint for larger households. Tenure is not specified and should be confirmed before completion. A Rezide equity loan scheme is available, which may help with deposit or affordability for qualifying purchasers.
Overall, the home suits families or professionals seeking low-maintenance, modern accommodation with generous outdoor space and good transport/cycle links into Cambridge. The property’s position overlooking communal green areas and its energy-efficient specification are strong value drivers, balanced by the single bathroom and the usual new-build snagging considerations.
