Description
59 Gildenhowe is a substantial detached property of buff brick and metal clad elevations with tall double glazed window and stylish family accommodation laid out over three floors and extending to 2,655 sq ft (246.7 sqm). The property was constructed by Hill Residential during 2021 and includes a ‘wet’ underfloor central heating system throughout. The house, along with its neighbours, is set back beyond a shallow frontage with a driveway for one car and planting adjacent.
The entrance is fully glazed and has tall ceilings, there is dual aspect sitting room including tall windows and glazed sliding door to the front to maximise light. To the rear is the open plan kitchen/dining and family room, again extensively glazed and fitted with a comprehensive range of high end cabinetry, supplied by Nolte Kuchen, along with a range of Siemens and Bosch integrated appliances including double oven, warming drawer, wine cooler and full height fridge and matching freezer and has a central island with breakfast bar. Beyond, and to the left is a WC fitted with Duravit sanitary ware along with utility/laundry room, again with Corian work surfaces and Bosch washer and separate dryer. Engineered oak flooring is laid virtually throughout the ground floor.
There are five bedrooms on the upper two floors including the principal and guest suites on the top floor, the principal has a separate dressing /walk-in closet fully fitted with two wall-to-wall built in wardrobes, en suite bathroom with a separate oversized shower cubicle and a decked balcony to the front. The guest bedroom is similarly fitted with a shower room and closet space.
The three remaining bedrooms are all large doubles, one of which has triple built in illuminated wardrobes. There is a dual aspect first floor sitting room which also has a ‘Juliet’ balcony.
The property which has no onward chain, can be available with immediate possession and can be seen in greater detail on the attached floorplans.
The rear garden is fully enclosed, laid to lawn and very much a blank canvas and offers great potential to landscape. There is a full width paved terrace, and to the front, a large oversized single integral garage.
Location
Eddington is a modern and thoughtfully designed neighbourhood on the northwestern edge of Cambridge, developed by the University of Cambridge with sustainability and community at its core. This vibrant new district offers a dynamic lifestyle with an impressive range of local amenities right on the doorstep.
The development is anchored by a large Sainsbury’s supermarket, making day-to-day shopping exceptionally convenient. Residents can enjoy a growing selection of independent eateries and social spaces, including the stylish Dulcedo Social café, authentic Le Pizzica pizzeria, and the inviting Dutch cocktail bar. The Hyatt Centric Hotel & Bar offers a chic space for dining and events, while the Astronomer, a popular modern British restaurant, has become a local favourite for both residents and visitors alike.
For families, Eddington is home to the University of Cambridge Primary School, which holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, and Bright Horizons nursery, providing high-quality early years education.
The area is well connected by dedicated cycle routes into Cambridge city centre via both Huntingdon Road and Madingley Road, each approximately 1.6 miles away, making commuting by bike or foot easy and pleasant. Comprehensive shopping, dining, and cultural facilities are readily available in central Cambridge, including the Grand Arcade shopping centre and the city’s renowned daily market.
Transport links are excellent, with Cambridge railway station offering fast connections to London King’s Cross in as little as 50 minutes and to Stansted Airport in around 28 minutes. For road users, the M11 motorway (Junction 13) is just 1 mile away, providing access to London, the M25, and beyond.
Eddington combines the benefits of contemporary living with access to nature, education, culture, and connectivity—making it one of the most exciting new places to live in Cambridge.
