A superb 3 bedroom penthouse apartment with stylish, beautifully presented accommodation, situated within the highly acclaimed Aura development on the south side of the city, only half a mile from Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus.

City Centre and Mainline Railway Station 1.75 miles, M11 (Junction 11) 1.5 miles, Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus 0.5 of a mile (distances are approximate).

83 Forbes Close is one of just 2 stylish penthouses within the Letini Building, built in 2014 by Countryside Properties who, where possible or viable, use renewable, sustainable or recyclable materials in the construction of their properties. The fourth floor penthouse apartment is beautifully presented throughout and offers well proportioned accommodation, flooded with natural light from large deep glazed windows and high ceilings, creating a spacious feel throughout.

Forbes Close is situated within the highly acclaimed Aura development, which forms part of a unique new suburb on the south side of Cambridge known as Great Kneighton. Facilities will include a central community square with a variety of shops, library, doctor's surgery, secondary schooling and dentists practice, together with large open spaces including an RSPB Nature Reserve, allotments, footpaths, sports pitches, cycling paths and BMX course.

Cambridge city centre offers an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, colleges, winding lanes and extensive shopping facilities. There is also an excellent choice of independent schools within close proximity including The Perse, St Faith's and The Leys together with Sixth Form Colleges in Long Road and Hills Road, the latter being top of the performance leagues for a number of years.

The property is particularly well placed for access to Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus and the city's mainline railway station which provides services to London's King's Cross and Liverpool Street in approximately 52 minutes and 67 minutes respectively.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 24, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 31, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
