About
A bright, top-floor, share of freehold apartment with a beautiful and mature garden, conveniently situated on the south side of the city and available with no onward chain.
This modern top-floor apartment forms part of King Edward House, a select development built in 2010, set nicely back from Queen Edith’s Way in well-tended communal gardens.
The property has served as a home for over nine years and has been incredibly well cared for. The apartment is entered via a telecom system into an entrance hall with a built-in cupboard.
There is a light and well-proportioned L-shaped living/kitchen/dining room with high vaulted ceilings, and a number of well-positioned skylights.
Of particular note is the delightful porthole window that has a seating recess and overlooks gardens to the rear of the building.
The kitchen is fitted with a modern range of base and wall-mounted units; integrated appliances include a dishwasher and an oven with a four-ring gas hob and extractor.
The bedroom is a comfortable double and has a vaulted ceiling, coupled with a second porthole window, which benefits from southerly aspects.
The shower room has been fitted with a stylish suite comprising a low-level w.c., pedestal wash hand basin and a large walk-in shower, complemented by attractive tiling and a heated towel rail.
Outside, the building is approached via a secure gated entrance, which gives access to both the residents' car park and a bike store.
The well-tended communal gardens are accessible via the side of the block and enjoy both a lawn and patio area with the option of using an attractive stone pavilion.
Location - Queen Edith's Way enjoys a convenient position, close to Addenbrooke's hospital, about 1.5 miles south of the railway station and 2 miles from the city centre.

There is an excellent range of local facilities, including day-to-day shops, a GP surgery, coffee shop and a pub on Wulfstan Way.
Cambridge South Railway Station is due to be completed in 2026 and will be around a mile from the apartment.
Schooling is available at Queen Edith Primary School with secondary provision at The Netherhall, both of which are Ofsted rated as 'good'.
Hills Road (1.3 miles) and Long Road (1 mile) Sixth Form Colleges are also within easy reach of the property.
