11 Dane Drive is a substantial, detached family home occupying a generous plot within one of Cambridge's most sought-after residential locations. Originally constructed in the 1970s and thoughtfully extended over the years, the property has remained in the same family ownership for almost 30 years and has been exceptionally well maintained throughout. The accommodation extends approximately 2,360 sq ft, arranged over two floors and whilst presented in excellent condition and ready for immediate occupation, the house also offers significant scope for further extension, remodelling and modernisation, subject to the necessary planning consents. The generous plot and existing footprint, provide an exciting opportunity for an incoming purchaser to create a bespoke, long-term family home in this highly desirable setting.

Dane Drive lies within the highly regarded Newnham area, which is widely recognised as one of the best residential locations in the city. Local facilities include a post office, chemist, bakers, butchers, grocers, small supermarket and the highly regarded Newnham Croft Primary School. Lammas Land Recreation Ground, with a large children's play area, tennis court and paddling pool, is within half a mile.
The historic city centre is about 1 mile away and provides an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, colleges, winding lanes and extensive shopping facilities. The property is also extremely well placed for many of the University Departments, 'The Backs' and delightful walks along the River Cam to the nearby villages of Grantchester and Coton. There is also an excellent range of schools for all ages within half or three-quarters of a mile of the property, including King's College School and St John's College School in Grange Road, for which access is available via a nearby cycleway/public footpath.
There is a strong vibrant community in the area centred around a recreation ground with a recently re-developed children's play area, which hosts an annual summer party for the residents of Gough Way and neighbouring streets.
