PROPERTY DETAILS

This bright and immaculately presented top-floor apartment was built in 2023 by the award-winning housebuilders, Hill Residential. Positioned away from the railway line, it enjoys tranquil views over the landscaped communal gardens and benefits from a south-west facing aspect, with sunlight throughout the day.

The large open balcony spans the width of the property, offering spectacular views across Cambridge’s city skyline and the South Cambridgeshire countryside. Designed to an exceptional standard, the apartment is part of the highly sought-after Timber Works development, a well-planned community centred around beautifully maintained gardens and a children’s play area.
