Located just moments from the vibrant heart of Cambridge and the eclectic offerings of Mill Road, this well-presented two-bedroom duplex maisonette offers generous accommodation across two floors, a private rear garden, and access to a large communal green. With Cambridge station within easy reach and a wealth of local amenities on the doorstep, the property is ideally suited for first-time buyers, professionals or investors seeking a well-connected and spacious city home.
The property is arranged over the ground and first floors of a low-rise block and has been tastefully decorated throughout. On the ground floor, the welcoming entrance hall leads into a bright and spacious living/dining room, which enjoys a pleasant outlook and direct access to a delightful private garden. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with a mix of patio, artificial lawn and pergola, creating an inviting and low-maintenance outdoor retreat. The adjacent kitchen is fitted with a range of modern cabinetry, timber-effect worktops, tiled splashbacks and includes space for freestanding appliances, with a large window overlooking the front of the property.
Upstairs, the accommodation comprises a generous primary bedroom with dual-aspect windows and built-in storage, along with a second double bedroom of equally good proportions. A stylish bathroom completes the first floor, featuring a bath with overhead shower, WC, basin and heated towel rail. The interiors are light, neutral and well cared for, offering a move-in ready opportunity.
The property further benefits from access to a large, well-kept communal green to the rear, as well as on-street parking in the surrounding area.
