Maids Causeway, Cambridge

Four houses on Cambridge's "Millionaire's Row", Maids Causeway, sold for more than £1 million. That's more than any other street in Cambridgeshire. The Causeway might not immediately spring to mind as the most sought after street with so many opulent settings to choose from in the city. Still, it does benefit from both relaxing green space with nearby Midsummer Common and the convenience of shops at The Grafton centre.

These homeowners can also say they are neighbours with the two Michelin Star restaurant Midsummer House. Another popular nearby spot to eat is the award-winning Indian restaurant Navadhanya.

Storey's Way, Cambridge

The most expensive house sold in our region last year was Upper Cross, 34 Storey's Way in Cambridge.
The property sold for £5.5 million in October.

Storey's Way is surrounded by buildings associated with the University of Cambridge, including Trinity Hall Sports Ground, Fitzwilliam College, Churchill College and St Edmunds College.

The street is just a short walk from Castle Mound, where Cambridge's medieval castle once stood, and Kettle's Yard art museum.

Wordsworth Grove, Cambridge

A house at 25 Wordsworth Grove sold for £5 million, making it our region’s second most expensive property.

Wordsworth Grove is a quiet street near Newnham College. It's also not far from several peaceful green spaces, including Lammas Land, Coe Fen Nature Reserve and Grantchester Meadows.

The Red Bull Newnham, known for its tasty pizzas and quiz night, is a great local pub option.

High Street, Trumpington

St. Marys House, 47 High Street, Trumpington was next at £3.7 million.

Trumpington, a village south of Cambridge, is a prime location for people working at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. The ongoing Cambridge South railway station project will be another benefit to locals.

The area has three pubs: Green Man, Duchess of Cambridge and Lord Byron Inn. Trumpington Meadows, which is looked after by the Wildlife Trust, and Byron's Pool are two lovely places to escape it all.

Wilberforce Road

17 Wilberforce Road was the next pricey property sold for £3.3 million.
