Location
• Chrishall is a delightful village on the Essex/Hertfordshire border, some 12 miles south of Cambridge – the principal city of East Anglia – which is famed for its beautiful colleges and is the hub of the UK’s technology industry. The city provides an extensive range of excellent shopping, recreational, cultural and business facilities together with some of the finest schools in the country. The leading scientific centres including Addenbrookes Biomedical Campus, The Babraham Institute, Granta Park and the Genome Campus at Hinxton all are located to the south of the city so are easily accessible from the property.
• Pre-school and primary schooling is available in the village with secondary schooling in Melbourn and Saffron Walden along with independent schools for all age groups in Cambridge.
• The picturesque, medieval market town of Saffron Walden (7.5 miles) provides an excellent range of day to day shopping facilities including a Waitrose Supermarket and Saffron Hall - an award-winning, 740 seat performance space/concert hall within the grounds of Saffron Walden County High School.
• The property is very well located for access to both Cambridge and London – Royston is 7 miles to the south west offering frequent trains to London Kings Cross from 35 minutes. Audley End station is 5.6 miles and Whittlesford Parkway is 7.5 miles and both have regular trains to London Liverpool Street from 51 minutes and 60 minutes respectively. Junction 10 of the M11 is about 3 miles away and provides excellent road links to Stansted Airport (22 miles) and the M25.
