VIRTUAL VIEWING AVAILABLE ON THIS HOME
A stunning, contemporary townhouse with superbly presented accommodation situated off Brooklands Avenue in a prime south city location.

City Centre 1 mile, Mainline Railway Station 0.5 of a mile, M11 (junction 11) 2.5 miles (distances are approximate).

The house is approached by a shady path beneath the swaying trees. You feel small standing in front. However, you are immediately set at ease when inside: it is comfortable and social in its design. The palette is at once simple and luxurious, like a gallery or a greenhouse: white walls, floor to ceiling windows and ceaseless, blond wooden floors. The air drifts through the house in a certain way: there is a gentle breeze in the summer, underfloor heating across all floors, and double glazing in the enormous windows. Whilst the ceilings are high, it is never cold. The house is structured so that you can quite easily have a conversation over several floors: when the doors to the courtyard garden are thrown open in the summer, you chat to someone a few meters above you on the on the roof terrace. They can talk to someone on the top floor Juliet balcony. It is large enough for privacy, but connected enough to feel communal.

This house has a unique relationship with nature. Plants can thrive in any room: the current owner of the property, the artistic Vanessa, has a keenly developed instinct for this. With her green fingers and a sharp eye for design, she has cultivated textiles, ceramics, woodwork and art over thirty years. A frequent visitor of auctions, she is always on the lookout for anything unusual. Her assorted collections, painted pebbles and 80’s ski figurines, are nestled amongst the waxy green of succulents, peperomioides, and avocados sprouted from their stones. Something unassuming in its original context can be bountiful in light of this space and can find a home amongst foliage.

There no more perfect a manifestation of this than the statuesque vine, enclosed on all sides by glass windows, rather like a terrarium. This is our relationship with the natural world in this house: we can observe it, just as it can observe us.



Set behind an area of woodland, 46 Aberdeen Avenue occupies a delightful position in the centre of this impressive terrace of 4 storey townhouses. It is just a mile from the heart of the city centre and within easy walking distance of Coe Fen and fields leading down to the River Cam and Newnham. The wonderful University Botannic Gardens are just a few hundred yards away on the opposite side of Brooklands Avenue.

Some of the most highly regarded schools in the city, such as St Faith's, The Perse, St Mary's and The Ley's are within easy walking or cycling distance of the property and there are also nursery schools in Chaucer Road.

London commuters are particularly well served with a mainline railway station within half a mile providing services to King's Cross and Liverpool Street in approximately 50 and 70 minutes respectively and the M11 (junction 11) is about 2.5 miles away providing access to Stansted Airport and beyond.
