PROPERTY DETAILS

This modern and spacious third-floor one-bedroom apartment, just two years old and offered with a long lease, is located in the prestigious Timberworks development off Cromwell Road. It includes a winter garden and boasts high-quality finishes throughout, including a sleek kitchen with integrated appliances, a contemporary bathroom, and underfloor heating for added comfort.

Part of the highly regarded Timberworks development by Hill Residential, Clara Rackham Street offers a mix of thoughtfully designed apartments and townhouses arranged around a landscaped central park. This recently completed development features community rooms, a day nursery, and excellent access to Cromwell Road’s convenient links to the city center, Addenbrooke's Hospital Biomedical Campus, and the railway station. The nearby Beehive Centre, Retail Parks, and the independent shops along Mill Road provide plenty of options for shopping, dining, and leisure activities.

This third-floor apartment is positioned at the rear of the building with a west-facing orientation, benefiting from ample natural light. The property features a whole-home ventilation system and underfloor heating, connected to a communal heating plant. Apart from the carpeted bedroom, the apartment is fitted with durable Amtico flooring, and there are roughly eight years remaining on the NHBC warranty. Residents enjoy both lift and stair access to all floors.

The welcoming hallway is equipped with a secure video intercom system and offers useful storage, including a utility cupboard housing the washing machine. The modern bathroom is fitted with a stylish three-piece suite comprising a bath with a shower and glass screen, a WC with a concealed cistern, and an inset basin. Additional features include part-tiled walls, recessed lighting, a chrome heated towel rail, and an electric shaver point.

The spacious double bedroom comes with a built-in wardrobe featuring mirrored doors and overlooks the enclosed winter garden. The open-plan living space, which includes a sitting and dining area, opens onto the winter garden through large windows and doors. The kitchen area is fitted with a range of cabinets, Caesarstone countertops, and a variety of integrated appliances, including an electric oven, hob with an extractor, microwave, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher.

The winter garden extends across the entire width of the apartment, offering a versatile space with fully opening windows that invite natural light and fresh air.

The development offers well-maintained communal gardens, a children's play area, and secure bicycle and bin storage. While there is no assigned parking, 'pay to park' spaces are available within the development, and some underground parking spaces remain available for purchase. There is also unrestricted parking in nearby streets.

Cambridge has something for everyone with a diverse range of restaurants, shops, business and services from the small independent local companies on Mill Road to the global brand names in the grand arcade.

The same can be said for the landmarks and attractions our city has to offer from the Fitzwilliam Museum and  vast collections of antiquities from Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, to punting on the River Cam under the mathematical bridge or strolling around Kings Chapel or the stunning Botanical Gardens.

Cambridge is a fine place to live with some of the best schools in the country, both independent and public. Addenbrookes, the internationally renowned teaching hospital is here and the historic university speaks for itself. Additionally, with many of the major blue chip, biotechnological and pharmaceutical employers that are based here, it is hard to find a better place to call home.
