This beautifully presented ground floor apartment occupies an enviable position on the edge of Trumpington Meadows, offering a generous private patio area with far-reaching views across the open landscape. The property provides a rare combination of spacious accommodation, excellent outdoor space and a wonderful sense of connection with the surrounding countryside. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.

The well-maintained communal areas lead to the apartment, with the building also benefiting from lift access to all floors.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, with all rooms leading from a central entrance hall. The principal living space is an impressive open-plan room at the rear of the apartment, enjoying a dual aspect and an exceptional outlook across the meadows. Bright, spacious and beautifully proportioned, the room provides distinct areas for sitting, dining and cooking, making it an ideal space both for everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary wall and base units, complemented by a comprehensive range of integrated appliances including an oven, hob and extractor, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.

The sitting area opens through bi-fold doors onto the particularly attractive private patio, which enjoys a westerly aspect and uninterrupted views across the meadows. It is a wonderful outdoor space for relaxing, dining and entertaining, with the added attraction of enjoying the afternoon and evening sunshine and some spectacular sunsets.

There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a stylish en suite shower room with a walk-in shower enclosure, WC and wash basin. The second bedroom also features fitted wardrobes and is served by a separate modern family bathroom, fitted with a bath, additional shower enclosure, WC and wash basin.

Externally, residents have access to a secure cycle store and bin store, together with direct access onto the adjoining protected meadows. The meadows are designated to remain for at least the next 95 years under the terms of the lease, providing a valuable and reassuring open outlook immediately beyond the property.

The apartment is held on a long lease with approximately 990 years remaining. The current ground rent is approximately £295 per annum, with a service charge of approximately £2,215 per annum.

Trumpington is a thriving and increasingly well-established part of Cambridge, combining excellent transport links and modern amenities with a strong community feel and easy access to open countryside.

The property is particularly well placed for access to Addenbrooke's Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, as well as the M11 and Cambridge city centre. The city can be reached by car, bus, guided busway, cycleway or on foot, with the Park & Ride also within walking distance. Cambridge South railway station is readily accessible via the guided busway and dedicated cycle routes, with Cambridge railway station providing an additional transport connection close to the area.

Trumpington offers a good range of local amenities, including shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs, a post office, pharmacy, gp surgery, dentist, hair and beauty services, library and community centre. There is also a large Waitrose and a Sainsbury's Local.

Families are well served by local schooling, including several primary schools and Trumpington Community College, with many of Cambridge's renowned independent schools also within easy cycling distance.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the location is especially appealing. Trumpington Meadows nature reserve provides an extensive network of paths linking through to Byron's Pool and Grantchester, while further country parkland lies between Trumpington and the Addenbrooke's campus. Bridleways and footpaths lead directly into the surrounding countryside towards Harston, Haslingfield, Barton and Grantchester.

A beautifully positioned ground floor apartment with a generous private patio, superb meadow views, excellent access to the surrounding countryside and no onward chain.
