Recent research shows that while demand for downsizing is growing, there is a substantial lack of suitable housing supply in the UK, particularly among older homeowners who are looking to boost their retirement income. Those looking to downsize without compromising on quality now have an excellent opportunity with the luxury Visari Building apartments on offer at Countryside’s Aura, in the picturesque city of Cambridge. The spacious apartments, which boast a superior specification offer the perfect location for homeowners at the top of the property ladder looking to downsize.

Aura is a collection of homes ranging from two bedroom apartment and three-bedroom penthouses, through to expansive four and five bedroom homes. The homes in the Visari Building are beautifully furnished throughout, with contemporary interiors and decked terraces. The development is part of the wider Great Kneighton development, and is nestled in idyllic green open spaces and tree lined avenues, while still conveniently located close to an enticing range of amenities.

Andrew Loveday, Sales Director at Countryside comments: “People looking to downsize want to reduce costs and maintenance, but not reduce their quality of living, and we are delighted at Countryside to be able to offer these luxury apartments at Aura that do just that. These homes are sure to appeal to a range of downsizers, and we urge potential buyers to register their interest quickly so as not to miss out on this rare opportunity.”

Each apartment offers a contemporary fitted kitchen, featuring an attractive composite stone worktop, with a range of energy efficient integrated appliances including a stainless steel oven, combination microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washer/dryer. The bathroom benefits from white sanitaryware with chrome accessories and cream wall tiles, while the master bedroom profits from an ensuite shower room.

The homes are located just over three miles away from Cambridge city centre, home to stunning architecture, art and culture, where residents are sure to be charmed by the world-renowned Cambridge University. The city boasts an excellent selection of shops, from the well-known high street retailers to a number of independent shops and boutiques, while also offering a range of bars and eateries.

The apartments at Aura benefit from excellent transportation services, including the award-winning fast-track Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, offering a five-minute journey to the train station and city centre. Cambridge train station is 2.5 miles from the development, with frequent services running to London Kings Cross and London Liverpool Street, reaching the capital in less than 50 minutes.
