Owner's Description

Set in 3 acres of orchard land, Appleacre is a small, family owned park situated at the edge of Fowlmere in rural South Cambridgeshire, offering homes for the retired and semi-retired.
With the friendly atmosphere at Appleacre you can enjoy mixing with like-minded people and become part of a community that looks out for each other, making it a caring and safe place to live.

FOWMERE VILLAGE
Fowlmere is an attractive village with a population of approx 1200. It enjoys a strong sense of active community through the numerous activities of the local church, clubs and societies.

Park residents are welcome to join the Fowlmere Sports and Social Club, located just across the road where they can enjoy all the club facilities and relax in the comfort of the licensed bar.

The village pub and the Chequers and Swan restaurants are all within close walking distance and the stop alongside the Park provides regular bus services to Cambridge and neighbouring villages.

A pleasant walk from Appleacre will take you past Manor Farm to the RSPB Nature Reserve. There the reed-beds and pools are fed by the natural chalk springs with a stream running through the Reserve. Birds include kingfishers, water rails and up to nine species of warbler.

LOCAL PLACES OF INTEREST
The famous university city of Cambridge, 9 miles to the north, offers excellent shops and numerous restaurants. For entertainment there are cinemas & theatres and for relaxation, beautiful walks can be enjoyed through parks, college grounds or alongside the River Cam.

The Imperial War Museum, situated in the neighbouring village of Duxford is a former Battle of Britain fighter station. Home to the largest collection of military and civil aircraft in Europe, the museum retains its wartime atmosphere as many of its aeroplanes still fly.
