A fully refurbished, top floor apartment offering well-appointed, bright and airy accommodation including 2 double bedrooms, occupying a popular and convenient location a short distance to the north of the city centre. No onward chain.
This superbly presented apartment has been subject to comprehensive refurbishment, which includes, but is not limited to, upgrading the kitchen and shower room, installing quality flooring, replumbing the property and rewiring to the kitchen and bathroom. Overall, it offers spacious, bright and well-arranged accommodation, which is ideally suited to first-time buyers or investors. The property forms part of an established, purpose-built development built in the 1960s and is set in mature grounds close to the River Cam, the city centre, Science Park and Cambridge North railway station.
Occupying the top floor, the apartment is accessed via a secure, communal entrance hallway. The apartment's own entrance hall includes a built-in cupboard and opens into the impressive, open-plan living space and kitchen area, which has a dual aspect with wall-to-wall windows either side. The kitchen has a range of white fitted units with ample work surface space, integrated appliances including an electric oven with an induction hob and an extractor hood over, a dishwasher, space for a washing machine, fridge/freezer and a wall-mounted combination boiler.
An inner hallway provides access to the bedrooms, both of which are double in size, and the shower room. Stylishly refitted, this includes a walk-in shower cubicle, a wall-hung wash basin with a drawer, a WC and a heated towel rail.
Outside, there are well-kept and mature communal grounds and residents parking, which is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The property also has an allocated, secure basement storage area.
