From the Agent: "This multi-award-winning, high-specification eco-house was designed by the acclaimed architect Meredith Bowles of Mole Architects in 2011. It occupies a quiet and secluded position on Madingley Road, in the western section of the conservation area of Cambridge, and extends to over 2,460 square feet. The internal living space follows a single-story L-shaped plan designed around an internal south-facing garden with a rare liquidambar tree at its center. The design takes an exacting approach to light and space, with a focus on natural materials and energy efficiency to support sustainable modes of modern living."

The home’s bathrooms feature colorful tile that echoes the hues of the surrounding landscape.
The home is clad in timber, insulated with hemp inside wood-fiber panels, and topped with a sedum roof.
