CAMBRIDGE
WELL WORTH A PUNT
If you are a sucker for well-read intellectuals with a fondness for punting, you’ll be spoiled for choice at Cambridge Unfiversity. Unfortunately, we can’t promise you a spot at the uni itself – we don’t have the same alleged scholarly connections as ‘er off Desperate Housewfives – but we can recommend digs in a new neighbourhood specially created by the esteemed institution. Athena is a collection of homes and apartments in Eddington, named after (d’uh) renowned astronomer, mathematician, physician and popular horoscope reader* Sir Arthur Eddington, a Cambridge alumnus. Mixing period design with contemporary touches, the properties boast stylish interiors, large wfindows (we love a bit of natural lfight) and outside space with a balcony, terrace or courtyard garden. You’ll be just a 10-minute cycle from Market Square, and 16 minutes to the train station by car. Price: from £299,950.
