A glazed entrance lobby opens into a generous L-shaped reception hall, providing access to all principal rooms and incorporating two useful storage cupboards together with a cloakroom/WC. The impressive sitting room is undoubtedly a highlight of the property, benefitting from a triple aspect, a striking vaulted ceiling and useful eaves storage. The room enjoys excellent natural light throughout the day and provides an elegant and versatile space for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen/breakfast room has been refitted to a high specification and features an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry, ample work surfaces and distinctive splashbacks. Integrated appliances include a double oven, induction hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler, while the inset sink benefits from a filtered and chilled water supply. Four Velux rooflights flood the room with natural light and further eaves storage adds practicality.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive, comprising two substantial double bedrooms, both with extensive fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom is served by a well-appointed en suite bathroom, while the second bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room. The generous proportions, excellent storage and thoughtful layout combine to create a home that is ideally suited to professionals, downsizers or those seeking a spacious Cambridge pied-à-terre.
