2 bed flat for sale

Hobson Road, Trumpington CB2

Et within a modern, well-regarded development in Trumpington, this chain-free ground-floor apartment offers a balanced combination of practical living space, direct outside access and a layout suited to both day-to-day life and longer-term flexibility. Its position will particularly appeal to those seeking step-free access and straightforward connections to the city centre, Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.

The apartment is arranged around a generous open-plan sitting, dining and kitchen space, which forms the centre of the home. This notably wide room allows for clearly defined living and dining areas without compromising circulation and is well lit by large glazed doors opening directly onto the terrace. Amtico flooring runs through the lounge and hallway, providing a smart, durable and easy-to-maintain finish.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of pale units and integrated appliances, with ample worktop space and storage. Positioned to one side of the room, it retains an open and sociable feel while remaining clearly defined from the main living area.

There are two double bedrooms of similar proportions, offering flexibility for use as guest accommodation, a home office or a shared arrangement. The principal bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe. The bathroom is finished in a simple, contemporary style and includes a bath with an overhead shower. Further storage is incorporated off the hallway, contributing to a practical and uncluttered living environment.

Externally, the property enjoys a private terrace-style seating area set behind a low brick boundary, providing useful outdoor space without the maintenance requirements of a garden. There is also one allocated parking space within the development.

The apartment has approximately 125 years remaining on the lease. The service charge is currently around £1,899.24 per annum and is reviewed annually, while the ground rent is set at a peppercorn rate. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.

Trumpington is a thriving and fast-growing part of Cambridge that has retained its village identity and strong sense of community. It is exceptionally well placed for access to Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the Biomedical Campus, the M11 and Cambridge city centre. Travel options include car, bus, guided busway, purpose-built cycle routes and walking.

Cambridge’s mainline railway station can be reached via the guided busway cycle path without the need to mix with road traffic. Construction of Cambridge South railway station is also underway, with completion expected in 2026.

The area has three primary schools and a state-of-the-art secondary school with excellent sporting facilities available to the wider community outside school hours. Many of Cambridge’s leading independent schools are also within easy cycling distance.

Local amenities include restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, barber, gp surgery, pharmacy, library, performance space and community centre. There is also a large Waitrose supermarket and two smaller Sainsbury’s stores.

Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve connects the area with Byron’s Pool and Grantchester, while a second country park and wildlife reserve lies between Trumpington and the Biomedical Campus. Numerous bridleways and footpaths lead directly into the surrounding countryside towards Harston, Haslingfield, Barton and Grantchester. Trumpington offers the convenience of city living while placing the countryside firmly on the doorstep.
