Meadowcroft, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

Apartments of the style, finish and individuality of 8 Meadowcroft are rarely seen coming to the market. The property is completely bespoke in its faultless finish offering superb attention to detail with every requirement and specification exceeded throughout. Fully re-fitted by Chard Robinson, with Angel & Blume of Cambridge as interior designers, the apartment is beautifully light and airy with vaulted ceilings, ceiling fans and large volumes of glass. Neutral shades are used throughout on the walls, kitchen and bespoke fitted furniture, all set off with the darker, natural Junckers hardwood flooring. The apartment is controlled by an impressive and fully automated Baulogic home lighting and with app control and feature, programmable switches in key locations. The wonderful open plan kitchen, designed and fitted by By Design of Cambridge, is fully fitted utilising oversized drawers, with under-unit and shelving halogen lighting, double Neff ovens, integrated dishwasher, fridge freezer and central stone island with 4 ring induction hob with extractor over. The bathrooms are equally striking in presentation and design, both with spacious glass showers and a contemporary free standing bath in the master en-suite.

The development is approached through remotely controlled electric vehicular gates. A coded key pad allows entry which can also be activated from the apartment itself, via entry telephone. Each apartment has an allocated car parking space and there is also visitor parking available. The setting of Meadowcroft is wonderfully private and screened by mature trees surrounding mature gardens, making the location particularly desirable and unusual for a City centre flat. The entire gated development and communal gardens are beautifully maintained and set around a lovely reflection pool. The mature trees are almost within reach of the apartment’s south-east facing balcony. There is also a communal bin store and various covered bicycle storage areas.

Lynfield Lane is a quiet, tree lined road tucked away behind Church Street in Old Chesterton and is fast becoming one of the most desirable places to live in Cambridge. Old Chesterton has some lovely pubs and renowned restaurants, along with the River Cam and Midsummer Common a short distance away. There are good local amenities in Chesterton High Street including a post office, independent shops, supermarkets, chemists, dentists and medical care. For work and transport, the development is conveniently located with walking and cycling distance of Cambridge railway station, the Science Park and the Business Park. The new Cambridge North station, scheduled to open in 2016 will be even closer with trains to London and the North. Road links are equally handing with easy access to the A14, linking to the M11, A1 and A11.
