Situation
Millington Road is a private no through road lying off Barton Road situated within the favoured Newnham district of western Cambridge. Residents pay a small annual sum to Kings College towards the upkeep of the road which benefits from having original gas street lamps.
Newnham is well served in terms of shopping and includes a butcher, mini delicatessen/post office and supermarket, chemist and a number of popular pubs and restaurants. There is local schooling at Newnham Croft Primary School and the independent King's and St Johns College Schools along Grange Road. For the commuter there is easy access to the M11 (Junction 12) heading towards London and the A14 heading west and east. The property is in easy walking distance of the city centre.
Comprehensive shopping facilities including the recently opened Grand Arcade are available in Cambridge along with an extensive range of recreational and cultural amenities. Millington Road has direct pedestrian access via Marlowe Road to Grantchester Meadows and a footpath which runs parallel to the River Cam heading towards Grantchester and Byrons Pool.
