Osprey Drive, Trumpington

Osprey Drive forms part of Trumpington Meadows, a thoughtfully planned development on Cambridge’s southern edge, where modern city living sits alongside an unusually generous amount of open space. This two-bedroom apartment is particularly well positioned, with a substantial covered balcony and far-reaching views across the meadows giving the home a sense of openness that is difficult to replicate elsewhere in the development.

The main living space is a clear strength. Kitchen, dining and sitting areas are arranged in one sociable, practical room, with floor-to-ceiling glazing on two aspects bringing in plenty of natural light and making the most of the outlook. Double doors lead directly onto the covered balcony, which is large enough to be genuinely useful for outdoor dining and sitting rather than simply an incidental outside space. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary cabinetry and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, oven and four-ring gas hob.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, making the layout suitable for two occupants as well as those wanting a dedicated home-working or guest room. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room and built-in cupboard, while a separate bathroom serves the remainder of the apartment.

The property has an allocated parking space within a carport, together with secure bicycle storage. The lease has approximately 991 years remaining, with a current service charge of approximately £1,715 per annum, reviewed annually, and a peppercorn ground rent.

Trumpington Meadows works particularly well for those who want straightforward access to Cambridge without giving up easy access to countryside. Waitrose and Trumpington Park & Ride are close by, while established cycle and guided bus routes provide practical connections towards the city centre, Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. Local schooling, everyday services and community facilities are well established within Trumpington.

Perhaps most distinctive is the immediate access to Trumpington Meadows nature reserve, with walking and cycling routes continuing towards Byron’s Pool, Grantchester and the countryside beyond. It gives the apartment a notably green setting while remaining firmly connected to the city.

For buyers looking for a well-proportioned modern apartment where outlook, outside space and connectivity carry equal weight, this is a home worth considering in person.
