Rustat Avenue, Cambridge

66 Bailey House is a well-proportioned two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offering around 63.2 sq m (680 sq ft) of accommodation, with its own sheltered outside space and a layout that makes good use of the available floor area. The combination of two bathrooms, a generous main living space and direct access outside gives it a degree of practicality that should suit buyers looking for a manageable Cambridge home without compromising too heavily on day-to-day space.

The entrance hall provides useful separation between the bedrooms and living accommodation. Bedroom one is the larger of the two and has its own en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is sufficiently independent to work well for a child, guest or as a dedicated home office. There is also a separate bathroom, an important advantage in a two-bedroom apartment and particularly useful where the second room is regularly occupied.

The main living and dining room is the strongest part of the plan. At approximately 16'10" in length, there is comfortable space for both seating and a dining table, rather than asking one area to perform both roles. The kitchen is arranged openly alongside it, keeping the principal accommodation sociable while retaining a clearly defined cooking area. Timber flooring runs through much of this space, and glazed doors together with an additional full-height window bring in natural light and connect the room directly with the outside.

That outside space is particularly useful for an apartment of this type. It is sheltered by the structure above and enclosed by established planting, providing room for outdoor seating without the maintenance commitment of a conventional garden. The principal bedroom also appears to have direct access to this area.

The lease has about 125 years remaining. The owners pay a ground rent of £300 pa and the most recent yearly service charge is £3000 pa.

Rustat Avenue is a convenient residential area, which lies between Mill Road, Hills Road and Cherry Hinton Road. The property is situated less than 2 miles from Addenbrooke's Hospital.

Cambridge railway station is reached on foot or cycle by way of a cycle bridge about 200 metres distance, which crosses the railway line and descends into the station grounds.

Coleridge Recreation ground is just a few minutes walk away and includes a paddling pool, splashpad and children's playground, as well as a football field and tennis court facilities.

Cambridge Leisure, a multi-screen cinema and bowling alley complex has a number of well known restaurants and a popular live music/comedy venue, The Junction is within the immediate vicinity. Supermarket shopping is also available at Cambridge Leisure with Tesco and Sainsbury's mini supermarkets.

The railway station has mainline services into London's King's Cross and Liverpool Street stations from around 48 minutes.
