Lapwing Avenue, Trumpington

A modern three-bedroom townhouse arranged over two floors and positioned within a contemporary development in Trumpington, with open views across green space and countryside beyond. Extending to approximately 919 sq ft, the property offers well-balanced accommodation with a practical layout and a notably bright feel throughout. This stylish home has been thoughtfully constructed by a developer recognised for delivering energy-conscious homes, with features including triple glazing, photovoltaic solar panels and an air filtration system designed to support comfort and efficiency in everyday living. The combination of modern construction, sustainable design and a quieter edge-of-development setting is likely to appeal to buyers seeking a home that works equally well for family life, professional households or those wanting flexibility for changing needs over time.

The ground floor is arranged around a generous sitting and dining room extending across the rear of the house. Large glazed doors and additional windows bring in good natural light and create a strong connection with the garden, while the proportions allow for clearly defined seating and dining areas without compromising day-to-day practicality. The kitchen sits separately at the front of the property and is fitted with contemporary cabinetry and integrated appliances, providing a clean and functional workspace. A cloakroom and useful storage areas complete the ground floor, including a practical utility cupboard located in the entrance hall, housing both a washing machine and tumble dryer and helping to keep laundry facilities neatly separate from the main living accommodation.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom is particularly notable, with fitted storage and full-height glazing that takes advantage of the elevated outlook across open space beyond the development. The remaining bedrooms provide flexibility for children, guests or home working, supported by a family bathroom finished in a simple contemporary style.

Outside, the rear garden has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, combining a paved terrace for outdoor dining with lawned space and a timber storage shed. The garden feels enclosed and usable rather than purely decorative, lending itself well to family use or relaxed entertaining. There is also the added benefit of rear access via a passageway beyond the garden, providing practical day-to-day convenience for bicycles, garden access and general ease of movement.

There is a service charge of approximately £255 per annum for upkeep of the communal areas.

Trumpington is a thriving, fast-growing part of Cambridge that still retains a strong village identity and sense of community. It is exceptionally well placed for Addenbrooke’s Hospital, the Biomedical Campus, the M11 and the city centre, with excellent links by car, bus, guided busway, purpose-built cycle routes and on foot.

Cambridge South Station is now open, providing a major new rail connection next to the Biomedical Campus and within easy reach of Trumpington. Cambridge mainline station also remains readily accessible via the guided busway cycle route, avoiding city traffic. The property is around a 5-minute walk from Trumpington Park & Ride.

Local amenities include restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, barber, GP surgery, pharmacy, library and community centre, together with Waitrose and Sainsbury’s Local.

Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve links the village to Byron’s Pool and Grantchester, with further country parkland between Trumpington and Addenbrooke’s. Numerous footpaths and bridleways lead out towards Harston, Haslingfield, Barton and Grantchester.
