2 bed flat for sale

Mariners Way, Cambridge CB4

An incredibly well positioned 2nd floor, share-of-freehold apartment with a garage and south-facing balcony, enjoying stunning views over the River Cam and Midsummer Common.

No.38 Eights Marina forms part of a unique and prestigious complex constructed in the late 1990s. The development sits on the site of a former Boatyard on the north bank of the river, standing amongst the university boathouses and looking south to Midsummer Common. From the early morning rowers, to the annual fireworks and the cows on the common, its setting could not place you more at the heart of this wonderful iconic city.

A welcoming communal entrance foyer leads via the stairs or lift to the apartment, which has a good sized reception hall with a video entry phone system. There is a light and airy sitting / dining room, which benefits from a dual aspect and has wide sliding doors leading to a south-facing balcony, very well suited to alfresco dining. Adjoining the main reception room is a well-equipped kitchen, which has been fitted with a range of base and wall mounted units; integrated appliances include a fridge / freezer, dishwasher, oven and a gas hob with an extractor over.

There are two double bedrooms, the principal room benefitting from an ensuite, which includes a separate bath and shower, and has splendid views over the river. The main bathroom also features a white suite with a separate bath and shower.

Outside the property has access to neatly tended communal gardens which provide immediate access onto the water and the complex has its own private marina. Vehicular access is at the end of Mariners Way through remote-controlled gates. Each apartment has its own garage and there are 27 casual parking spaces, 10 outside the gates and 17 inside. No.38 also has a useful storage cupboard located on the top floor of the building. Pedestrians can walk out to Cutter Ferry Path and over a footbridge straight onto Midsummer Common.
