Riverside, Cambridge

Occupying an enviable position on the south bank of the River Cam, this well-proportioned three-storey maisonette enjoys direct river views, two balconies and a highly convenient location just under a mile from Cambridge city centre. Extending to almost 790 sq ft, the property offers a combination of generous living space, practical accommodation and a setting that will particularly appeal to professionals, downsizers or buyers seeking easy access to both the city and Cambridge's green open spaces.

Arranged over the upper floors, the accommodation is centred around a spacious sitting and dining room extending to over 21 feet in length. Large glazed doors draw in natural light and open directly onto a balcony overlooking the river, creating an attractive connection between the living space and its surroundings. The room comfortably accommodates both seating and dining areas and enjoys a pleasant outlook across the Cam and surrounding greenery. The separate kitchen is fitted with contemporary units and integrated appliances, providing a practical and efficient workspace.

On the floor above are two comfortable double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from an en-suite and its own private balcony with elevated views towards the river and Stourbridge Common beyond. The second bedroom provides flexible accommodation for guests, home working or shared occupation. The second bathroom has been updated with a modern white suite incorporating both a bath and separate shower enclosure, finished with contemporary tiling. From the landing, a staircase rises to a large loft space, offering valuable additional storage and, subject to the necessary consents, the potential for conversion into further living accommodation; notably, previous planning permission for such a conversion was granted but has since lapsed.

Outside, the property benefits from an allocated parking space together with further residents' parking available on a first-come, first-served basis. An external store provides practical storage for bicycles and household items.

The property has a share of the freehold interest and there are approximately 954 years remaining on the lease with a service charge of approximately £1,315 per annum.
