Radcliffe & Rust Estate Agents are delighted to offer, to let, this beautifully presented two-bedroom third-floor apartment in the highly sought-after Palmer House development, located in the heart of Trumpington. Offering contemporary accommodation throughout, the property benefits from a private balcony, an allocated parking space and lift access, making it ideal for professionals or a couple. Trumpington is one of Cambridge's most desirable locations, with a wide range of amenities close by including a large Waitrose supermarket (approximately 0.5 miles), Cambridge Biomedical Campus and Addenbrooke's Hospital (around 1.5 miles), and Cambridge city centre (approximately 2.5 miles). Excellent transport links are also on your doorstep, with the M11 (Junction 11) approximately 1 mile away, regular bus services and the nearby Park & Ride providing easy access into the city, while the guided busway offers convenient connections to Cambridge North and St Ives. Combining modern living with an exceptional location, this superb apartment is perfectly positioned to enjoy everything Cambridge has to offer.

Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall, beautifully finished with contemporary wood-effect flooring that flows seamlessly through into the main living accommodation, creating an immediate sense of space and continuity. The hallway is decorated in soft neutral tones and offers access to all principal rooms, whilst a generous built-in storage cupboard provides the perfect place to neatly tuck away coats, shoes and everyday household essentials, and it also houses the washer/dryer.

The first room is bedroom 2. Currently utilised as a home office and occasional guest bedroom, this is a wonderfully versatile space that could equally accommodate a double bed, making it ideal as a second bedroom, nursery, dressing room or dedicated workspace for those working from home. A large window allows natural light to flood the room throughout the day, whilst the soft cream carpeting creates a warm and comfortable feel underfoot. Fitted overhead storage maximises practicality without compromising the generous floor space, ensuring the room remains bright, functional and uncluttered.

Adjacent is the principal bedroom, a beautifully presented and generously proportioned room offering the perfect place to relax at the end of the day. There is ample space around the included double bed, whilst the substantial fitted wardrobe provides excellent storage and blends effortlessly into the room. A large picture window fills the space with natural light and enjoys pleasant views across the surrounding development. The room is enhanced by an elegant feature wall with delicate blue floral detailing, complementing the crisp neutral décor and plush cream carpeting to create a calm, peaceful and inviting atmosphere.

Continuing along the hallway, you'll find the contemporary family bathroom. Beautifully finished in soft cream and beige tones, the suite comprises a panelled bath, a separate walk-in shower enclosure with a glazed shower door, a concealed cistern WC and a modern wash hand basin. Light neutral wall tiling is complemented by warm wood-effect panelling to the bath and subtle stone-effect flooring, creating a timeless, high-quality finish that feels both stylish and relaxing.

At the end of the hallway is undoubtedly the heart of the home – a superb open plan kitchen, dining and living room. Wonderfully proportioned and flooded with natural light from the large rear-facing window and glazed door leading onto the balcony, this impressive room has been thoughtfully designed to create a sociable living environment whilst still offering clearly defined spaces for cooking, dining and relaxing.

The kitchen occupies one end of the room and has been finished with sleek high gloss white wall units complemented by warm oak-effect base units, light stone-effect worktops and striking charcoal floor tiles, creating a contemporary yet timeless aesthetic. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, electric hob with stainless steel extractor hood above, microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer, whilst the generous worktop space and abundance of storage make the kitchen equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining guests. There is also plenty of room for a dining table positioned beside the window, making this a wonderful place to enjoy meals whilst benefiting from the natural light.

The living area flows effortlessly inbetween the kitchen and dining space, with the continuation of the attractive wood-effect flooring helping to tie the entire room together. There is ample room for a large sofa suite alongside additional furniture, whilst still leaving space for a home working area if desired. Soft neutral décor is enhanced by an attractive feature wallpaper, adding warmth and character without overpowering the room. The generous proportions make this an incredibly comfortable space in which to relax, entertain family and friends or simply enjoy everyday living.

A glazed door opens directly onto the private balcony, providing a wonderful extension of the living space. With room for a small table and chairs, it offers the perfect setting for enjoying a morning coffee, an evening drink or simply taking in the elevated views across the surrounding development.

Externally, Palmer House benefits from a secure communal entrance with both lift and stair access serving all floors. The apartment also enjoys an allocated parking space within the communal car park, together with access to communal cycle storage, providing both convenience and peace of mind.
