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 CB1 is one of Cambridge's most consistently sought-after postcodes, and the Hampden Gardens development sits within it in a particularly pleasant way; a well-maintained, landscaped setting that feels a world away from the bustle of the city whilst remaining within easy reach of everything that makes Cambridge such an enjoyable place to live.
This second floor flat is in very good order throughout, light and bright from the moment you step inside, and offers a comfortable and well-considered layout that works equally well for a professional couple or two sharers looking for a quality home in an excellent location.
The entrance hall leads into a generous open plan sitting, dining and kitchen space (the social heart of the flat) and a room that benefits from good natural light and a layout that flows comfortably between cooking, dining and relaxing without any of those functions feeling compromised.
The kitchen is modern and well presented, integrating neatly into the living space without dominating it. Both bedrooms are doubles and each has its own distinct character.
The first benefits from a pair of Velux windows set into the roofline above, an arrangement that floods the room with natural light and gives it a quality of brightness that a standard window simply cannot replicate, making it a particularly pleasant space to wake up in.
The second double bedroom has built-in wardrobe storage, keeping the room well organised and making the most of the available space.
The modern bathroom with shower over bath is well finished and serves the flat comfortably.
One allocated parking space and access to the lovely landscaped shared rear garden complete a well-rounded and practical package, the garden in particular being a genuine asset for a flat of this type, providing outdoor space to enjoy without the responsibility of maintaining it.
The location is one of the flat's strongest selling points.
Hampden Gardens sits within comfortable walking and cycling distance of Mill Road, Cambridge's most characterful and culturally vibrant street, lined with independent restaurants, artisan food shops, cafés, a microbrewery tap room and a density of independent businesses that most city high streets would envy.
The Fort St George on Midsummer Common and the Kingston Arms on Kingston Street are both well-regarded local options for a drink or something to eat, and the broader Cambridge city centre, with its markets, colleges, museums, the Grand Arcade and the full range of dining and cultural institutions, is well within cycling distance.
Cambridge Railway Station, with direct services to London King's Cross at around fifty minutes on a fast service, is reachable on foot or by bike, and Addenbrooke's Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus are easily accessible for those working in that part of the city.
