About
59 Hawkey Road is a particularly well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment within the established Trumpington Meadows development.
At approximately 914 sq ft, the accommodation is notably generous for a modern apartment, with much of that space given to a substantial open-plan living area and two proper double bedrooms.
The long balcony and good natural light add further appeal, making this a home that works well beyond simply providing convenient access to Cambridge. The main living space is the defining feature.
Measuring around 24'9" by 21'9", it comfortably accommodates distinct kitchen, dining and sitting areas without any part feeling compromised.
The kitchen is arranged along one side with extensive fitted cabinetry and integrated appliances, leaving the remainder of the room flexible for everyday living and entertaining.
Large windows and a glazed door bring in plenty of daylight and provide direct access to the balcony. Both bedrooms are sensibly separated from the principal living space.
The main bedroom has fitted mirrored wardrobes and its own shower room, while the second is a genuine double and is currently arranged to incorporate a useful home-working area.
A separate bathroom serves the second bedroom and guests, giving the apartment a practical layout for a couple, sharers or those regularly working from home.
The balcony runs for much of the length of the apartment, rather than being confined to a small recessed area.
It provides useful private outside space with room to sit out, while its open aspect across the development gives the apartment a greater sense of space.
The apartment also benefits from secure undercroft parking, cycle storage, and bin stores. Hawkey Road forms part of the highly regarded Great Kneighton development on the southern side of Cambridge.
The area has become one of the city's most sought-after modern neighbourhoods, combining contemporary homes with extensive green space, cycle routes and everyday amenities.
Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Addenbrooke's Hospital and AstraZeneca's global headquarters are all within easy cycling distance, while the city centre is readily accessible via the guided busway and comprehensive cycle network.
Trumpington also offers a range of local shops, cafés and leisure facilities, together with convenient access to the M11 and Cambridge South Station, which is expected to further enhance connectivity.
The property is held on a 250-year lease from 2018. The current ground rent is £325 per annum and the service charge is approximately £3,444.79 per annum.
