About
A detached two-bedroom bungalow occupying a generous corner plot position on Scotsdowne Road, offered for sale with the benefit of no onward chain.
The property provides a straightforward and practical layout, with well-proportioned rooms throughout, a detached garage and scope for a buyer to update or adapt over time, depending on requirements.
Its single-storey design and established setting are likely to appeal to downsizers seeking manageable accommodation, as well as buyers looking for a quieter residential location within easy reach of the city.
The accommodation extends to just over 820 sq ft and is arranged around a central hallway.
The sitting/dining room is a notably good-sized reception space with dual aspect windows providing natural light throughout the day and sufficient room for both seating and dining areas.
The kitchen sits separately to the rear and offers a practical layout with direct access outside, alongside an adjoining store cupboard.
Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, with Bedroom 1 in particular offering excellent proportions and fitted storage.
A shower room serves the property and there is additional built-in storage within the hallway.
Outside, the bungalow benefits from its corner plot position, creating a greater sense of openness than is often found with similar properties.
The surrounding garden areas offer potential for landscaping or further planting, while remaining manageable in scale.
A detached garage provides useful storage or secure parking, with additional driveway parking likely available in front.
Trumpington is a thriving, fast-growing part of the city that still manages to retain its village identity and strong sense of community.
It is exceptionally well located for access into the Addenbrookes campus, out to the M11 and into the city by car, bus, guided bus, one of several purpose-built cycle routes, or even an enthusiastic walk.
The city’s mainline station can be easily reached along the guided busway cycleway without mixing with traffic.
The area benefits from three primary schools and a state-of-the-art secondary school with excellent sporting facilities.
Many of the city’s leading independent schools are also within easy cycling distance.
Trumpington offers a wide range of amenities including restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, barber, gp surgery, pharmacy, library and community centre, along with a major Waitrose supermarket and Sainsbury’s Local.
