Elizabeth Way, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

Chester House on Elizabeth Way is an impressive collection of seven newly built apartments, set in one of Cambridge’s most well-connected and desirable locations. Thoughtfully designed for contemporary living, each home blends modern style with energy efficiency and low-maintenance practicality, creating a seamless balance of comfort, functionality and convenience. As a whole, the development offers a rare opportunity to acquire a fully completed residential scheme in a high-demand area—ideal for investors or those seeking a premium city base.
The development includes four one-bedroom apartments, one two-bedroom apartment and two studio flats, all carefully designed to maximise space and natural light. Each residence is finished to a high contemporary standard, with open-plan living spaces, sleek handle-less kitchens and refined, modern bathrooms. Kitchens feature solid oak worktops, brushed aluminium splashbacks and integrated Bosch appliances, including an oven, induction hob, dishwasher, washer/dryer and fridge/freezer—delivering both style and functionality. Bathrooms are equally well-appointed, with concrete-effect porcelain tiles, chrome rainfall showers and generously sized German steel bathtubs, combining everyday comfort with a sophisticated finish.
Attention to detail is evident throughout. Aluminium-framed double glazing in anthracite grey and durable composite entrance doors provide both visual appeal and longevity. Karndean flooring runs seamlessly through each apartment, offering acoustic benefits that reduce sound transfer by up to 14 decibels. In the communal areas, black walnut Amtico flooring enhances the overall sense of quality and cohesion from the moment of arrival.
Chester House is designed with the future in mind, incorporating advanced technology to support modern lifestyles. Each apartment benefits from dedicated fibre connections via Openreach and Virgin Media, Cat 6 Ethernet wiring and CCTV infrastructure for enhanced connectivity and security. Efficient monobloc heat pump systems provide year-round heating and cooling, supported by AI-enabled Mixergy smart water cylinders. The development is entirely gas-free, aligning with evolving energy standards, while communal areas include energy-efficient lighting and pre-wiring for a solar array with battery backup to support essential systems.
Each apartment offers its own distinct appeal. Flat 1 features a one-bedroom layout with open-plan living and a private rear garden, ideal for entertaining. Flat 2 offers similar proportions with a private side entrance and access to the communal garden, enhancing privacy. Flat 3 benefits from a bright interior and a private front garden with lawn and patio. Flat 4 occupies the first floor with its own ground-floor entrance and shared access to a rear garden. Flat 5, the only two-bedroom apartment, occupies the top floor and features its own entrance, offering a bright and spacious retreat. Flats 6 and 7 are well-designed studio apartments, each providing efficient, modern living spaces.
