Aura Mansions

Thanks to strong buyer interest in the first release of mansion style properties at Aura on Long Road in Cambridge, Countryside is pleased to launch to the market a further collection of luxurious mansions, each featuring a spectacular rooftop terrace and conservatorium. This winning combination of outstanding design, exceptional specification and a first class location on Long Road demonstrates why Aura is rightly becoming known as the best new address in Cambridge.

Comprising just four individually designed four and five bedroom properties, the mansions offer the best in contemporary luxury living. Crowning the top of each property, an impressive fully glazed conservatorium provides a unique space in which to retreat and relax. This opens on to a spacious roof terrace that offers the perfect vantage point for admiring the woodland views, dining al fresco or entertaining friends.

Andrew Loveday, Sales Director for Countryside comments: “We are pleased to launch the next phase of contemporary mansions, for which we expect strong demand. The first phase of mansions proved to be incredibly popular and the new release have the added benefit of a rooftop terrace and conservatorium, meaning these homes really do have wow factor. The fusion of contemporary, design-led architecture and well-appointed luxury in an attractive woodland setting brings something quite unique to the Cambridge property market, and I have every confidence that these homes will not be available for long given the demand we have previously seen at Aura for this style of house.”

The grand and spacious rooms of the mansions have high ceilings and expansive glazing to make the most of natural light and views to the surrounding woodland. The impressive open plan kitchen / dining / family area on the upper ground floor is designed to be the heart of the home, with an island breakfast bar and full height windows looking over the south facing garden allowing natural light to flood in. Feature glazing to the staircase overlooks the kitchen / dining / family area, while in the first floor living room benefits from full height windows offering views towards mature woodland.

Space is designed to be used flexibly depending on the needs of the occupier and incorporates plenty of storage as well as a large integral double garage on the ground floor. Bedrooms are generously sized – in addition to the stately master suite, the second bedroom has its own en suite and dressing room meaning guests are comfortably accommodated.

The interiors of the mansions are of exceptional quality, finished in a sophisticated, neutral colour palette. The kitchens are finished in a combination of oak, elegant white and grey tones with handle free, soft close doors and stone work surfaces. They are fitted with the full range of integrated Miele appliances including twin ovens, warming drawers and two fridges, meaning the properties are well equipped for entertaining. Bathrooms and en suites exude five-star luxury with streamlined yet elegant fittings such as wet room style showers and motion activated lighting. Underfloor heating is included throughout along with wood and cream tiled flooring plus carpets, while added touches such as the built-in wine cooler and wine rack in the utility room ensure every creature comfort is considered.

Located off Long Road to the south of Cambridge city centre, Aura is ideally located for excellent schooling and mainline rail links to London. With Cambridge city centre approximately 1.5 miles away, Aura offers the sense of a familiar townscape yet on the edge of the countryside. Flanked by mature woodland areas, there is an emphasis on green space with a network of pedestrian routes interwoven between the attractive landscaping and tree-lined boulevards. Aura is close to all of the facilities of Great Kneighton, which includes an extensive range of proposed new amenities such as shops, library, 120-acre Country Park and two new schools.

Transport links from Aura are excellent with the Cambridge Guided Bus stopping just moments away and offering regular services to the city, train station, Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the science park. Cambridge train station offers fast and frequent links to London in as little as 53 minutes, while by road the M11 is nearby and Stansted airport can be reached in around half an hour.
