About
This is a well-proportioned two-bedroom home with an unusually generous south-facing garden, two parking spaces and useful outbuildings.
The accommodation itself is straightforward and practical, but it is the combination of internal space, the depth of the plot and the flexibility offered outside that gives the property particular substance.
The front door opens into an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor.
At the front is a bright sitting room, where exposed floorboards and a broad window give the room a simple, comfortable character with good natural light.
Across the rear, the kitchen/dining room provides plenty of working and storage space, together with room for a proper dining table rather than relying on an informal eating area.
There is additional storage beneath the stairs and a door directly into the garden, making the relationship between the house and outside space particularly useful through the warmer months.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms. The larger sits at the front, while the rear bedroom looks over the garden; importantly, both have useful built-in storage.
The bathroom is also on this floor and has a bath with shower over, WC and wash basin. The garden is a significant part of what is being offered here.
South-facing and extending to more than 27.5m (90ft), it begins with a paved terrace immediately behind the house before opening onto a long, predominantly lawned garden.
There is ample space for sitting, gardening and play without one use having to compromise another.
A brick-built outbuilding has power and light and subject to any necessary works or consents, it could also lend itself to a dedicated home-working space. A further shed provides additional storage.
Pedestrian access to the rear is available via a secure side gate, while two parking spaces are provided at the front.
Trumpington is a thriving, fast growing part of the city that still manages to retain its village identity and sense of community.
It is exceptionally well located for access into the Addenbrooke's campus, out to the M11 and into the city by car, bus, guided bus, one of a few purpose-built cycle routes, or even an enthusiastic walk.
Cambridge South station, which opened in June 2026 beside the Biomedical Campus, is a 15-minute walk from the property and provides direct rail connections to London in just under an hour, as well as Stansted and Gatwick airports, materially improving the area's wider connectivity.
The area has three primary schools and a state-of-the-art secondary school with excellent sporting facilities. Many of the city's finest private schools are within easy cycling distance.
There are also various restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, barber, gp surgery, pharmacy, library and community centre. There is a major Waitrose supermarket and a Sainsbury's local.
Trumpington Meadows nature reserve links Trumpington through to Byron's Pool and Grantchester and there is a second country park between Trumpington and the Addenbrooke's campus.
Various bridleways and footpaths lead immediately out into the countryside towards Harston, Haslingfield, Barton and Grantchester.
