Hobson Road is part of the Abode 1 development, created by Countryside Properties and designed by Proctor and Matthews Architects. This remarkable blend of striking architecture, thoughtful design, and modern living earned both the development and architect the Royal Institute of British Architects' East Building of the Year Award in 2015. The exquisite home spans three floors, centered around a spacious courtyard, offering approximately 3,248 sqft (302 sqm) of bright, well-planned living space.

Inside, the property is distinguished by its expansive, tall windows that maximize natural light while maintaining privacy. The ground floor features an open-plan layout, with the kitchen, dining area, and sitting room arranged in an L-shape around the private courtyard, making it the heart of the home. The kitchen is outfitted with sleek wall and base-mounted units, integrated appliances, and a central island. Beyond the kitchen, the living area extends over 35'7 x 31'10 (10.84 m), providing ample space for both a large dining table and a sitting area, all overlooking the courtyard.

The courtyard serves as the central focal point of the property and is the largest of six outdoor spaces available. The ground floor is completed by an integrated double garage, a utility room, and a WC.

On the first floor, the sitting room is bathed in natural light thanks to a dual aspect, featuring a large picture window at the front and floor-to-ceiling windows with a glass door leading to a balcony that overlooks the central courtyard. The floor is also home to three double bedrooms. Notably, the master bedroom boasts a separate dressing area, built-in wardrobes, and a spacious, stylish ensuite, with large windows at the rear offering views over nearby playing fields.

The second floor features two additional bedrooms, each with its own ensuite. Bedroom four benefits from a private balcony and a vaulted ceiling, making it an ideal space for a home office. Bedroom three has access to one of the expansive sun terraces, measuring over 21'11 x 14'10 (6.68 x 4.53m), with views extending over the central courtyard at the front and school playing fields at the rear. A second sun terrace, accessible from the landing, provides an additional versatile outdoor entertaining area.

The property is built to Sustainable Homes Level 3 and includes photovoltaic panels for enhanced energy efficiency.

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. The city's mainline station can be easily reached along the guided busway cycleway without having to mix with car traffic at all and Cambridge South Station is due to open in 2026.

The area has three primary schools and a brand new state-of-the-art secondary school built in 2016 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.
