The Orangery, Long Road CB2

This immaculate, light filled apartment offers beautifully proportioned modern living, set within a private gated development and surrounded by mature landscaped grounds.

As you enter the gated development, access to the apartment is via a secure entrance lobby, with a communal staircase or lift providing access to the first floor.

The welcoming entrance hall provides useful storage, including an airing cupboard. The open plan living, dining and kitchen is an impressively designed triple aspect room, with full height glazing allowing natural light to fill the space, and doors opening onto a generous wraparound balcony, creating a strong connection to the outside.

The modern handleless kitchen is complemented by integrated appliances including a double oven; dishwasher; induction hob; and fridge freezer, alongside granite work surfaces for a clean and contemporary finish. There's a large dining space, making this a sociable and practical part of the home.

There are two well proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a contemporary ensuite finished to an exceptionally high standard, with large format tiling; a walk-in shower with glass screen and recessed shelving; a wall-mounted WC; and a sleek vanity with countertop basin and integrated storage. Subtle lighting and quality fittings complete the space, creating a calm and well considered finish.

The second bedroom is served by the well-appointed family bathroom, presented in a neutral palette with contrasting tiles. It includes a bath with overhead shower, a vanity unit with integrated storage; basin; and back-to-wall toilet with concealed cistern. There is also plumbing and a cabinet for a washing machine.

The delightful wraparound balcony is a wonderful outdoor space finished with a glass balustrade and offering views across the beautifully maintained communal gardens.

The Orangery is a private and well regarded gated development, offering a high level of security and a quiet, tucked away setting. Each apartment has allocated covered parking and access to individual bicycle storage within the development. The grounds are carefully maintained and create an attractive environment for residents.

Situated in a highly convenient south Cambridge location, the property is within easy reach of Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the Biomedical Campus. Trumpington offers a range of local amenities, including a Waitrose supermarket, cafes, and everyday shopping, while Cambridge city centre is also easily accessible.

There are excellent transport links, with access to the M11, regular bus services, and nearby cycle routes providing straightforward connections across the city. The property is a short distance from the forthcoming Cambridge South station which is planned to open in June 2026 and will offer the same service pattern and destinations as Cambridge central station.

The area also offers access to nearby green spaces, including Trumpington Meadows and Grantchester, ideal for walking and outdoor leisure.
