About
Tenure: Leasehold To make an enquiry please click the email agent or request viewing button on the listing, this will allow us to respond to you as quickly as possible For anyone who has looked at the Cambridge rental market and concluded that the only affordable way into a decent postcode is a house share, Armstrong House on Regent Street is worth a second look.
This well-presented studio apartment offers something that shared accommodation simply cannot, your own front door, your own space, and the kind of quiet independence that makes coming home at the end of the day feel genuinely restorative rather than just a change of location.
The layout is compact but thoughtfully arranged and makes the most of what it has.
The sitting and bedroom space is the heart of the flat, a well-proportioned room with a large window that draws in a generous amount of natural light and gives the space an airy, open quality that lifts it considerably.
Neutral throughout and well presented, it is the kind of room that responds well to being furnished with a degree of care and quickly feels like home.
The kitchen and breakfast room is a good size for a studio and fitted in a white high gloss shaker style, it provides a proper cooking and eating space rather than a glorified kitchenette, which makes a real difference to daily life.
The shower room is finished in a clean modern white and does exactly what it needs to do. The location is, of course, one of the most central in Cambridge.
Regent Street places you within a short walk of the university buildings, Parker's Piece, the Fitzwilliam Museum, the Grand Arcade, the Botanic Garden and the full breadth of the city's independent shops, cafés and restaurants.
Mill Road, with its extraordinary density of independent eateries, artisan food shops and characterful businesses, is moments away.
Cambridge Railway Station, with direct services to London King's Cross at around fifty minutes, is within comfortable cycling distance, and Addenbrooke's Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus are easily accessible for those working in that part of the city.
