A well-proportioned top-floor flat, with two double bedrooms and enviable views from the sitting room, kitchen, and both bedrooms over Ditton Meadows. The property has a garage in a block adjacent to the building and is offered a share of the freehold. No upward chain.


The property is arguably one of the best in the block, having nothing above and only one adjoining property to the side. It also has stunning views, which can be fully appreciated from all the principal rooms.


The front door opens to the entrance hall, which has a walk in storage room and a built in cupboard. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinets and there is space for a cooker, washing machine, and fridge freezer. The sitting room has space for seating and for a dining table and chairs and from here a huge picture window gives uninterrupted views over the meadows.


The flat has two good double bedrooms, both of which are lovely bright rooms with double wardrobes, and there is a bathroom fitted with a bath with shower over, w.c and hand-basin.


Outside, there is a communal garden and bike shed, the property also has a garage in a block close-by.


The ground rent is currently £15 pa, and the service charge is £1544.40 pa. Service charges are reviewed annually and are based on a forecast of the actual maintenance costs. There are 134 years left on the lease.


Agents note:- The building recently had a new roof, which is still under warranty.


The property is located just off Newmarket Road and is in a very convenient and thriving area to live, with major retail parks, supermarkets, and leisure facilities within easy walking/cycling distance. It is just over a couple of miles from the historic city centre, which can also be reached over a lovely riverside walk. The property backs onto Ditton Meadows and is close to Stourbridge Common. It is also close to the Abbey Chesterton footbridge which offers pedestrian access to Cambridge North station in around 15 minutes, and to the Chisholm trail cycle route, a cross-city dedicated cycling route linking Cambridge North and Cambridge station.


For recreation, there are parks and play areas close by, whilst the river is just a three minute walk over the meadows and there is a lovely walk to Fen Ditton.


Primary education is available at Abbey Meadows primary school which feeds into the Coleridge Community College, part of the Parkside Federation.


The property is also in a convenient location for commuters wishing to get out of town, with Junction 34 of the A14 within about 2 miles.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on March 1, 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 March 1, 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

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on September 21, 2019 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
