PROPERTY
THE GREAT OUTDOORS They say it’s what’s inside that counts – and that’s true to an extent when it comes to houses. But when the weather is glorious, the garden’s the only place you’ll want to be. Here are three beautiful homes which offer the best in outside as well as inside space.
A rarity for Cambridge, this smart, central family home has plenty of outside space in the form of a long, sweeping and immaculate lawn, lined with trees and colourful borders. Situated in Storey’s Way, the property has six bedrooms, a garage/workshop and parking, and is for sale with a guide price of £1.85 million.

This pretty Victorian property in London Road, Harston, comes with a suntrap terrace and large, south-west facing lawn, and occupies a superb spot within this popular village. Inside, there are four bedrooms, a swish kitchen and original features aplenty. Guide price is £575,000; contact Carter Jonas on 01223 368771. www.carterjonas.co.uk
About a mile outside of Stapleford, this idyllic country house is right on the edge of the Magog Down and has fabulous views from its elevated position.
