Riverside, Cambridge, CB5

Property Insight

Set within the gated St. Bartholomew’s Court, this first-floor apartment takes one of the development’s best positions, with a private balcony looking out across the River Cam and the open green of the riverside beyond. It is a calm, leafy outlook moments from the water, yet barely over a mile from the heart of Cambridge — around a seven-minute cycle, or a half-hour walk.

A welcoming entrance hall runs the width of the apartment, with two generous storage cupboards keeping everything out of sight. The living and dining room is the clear heart of the home, a bright and well-proportioned space with doors opening onto the balcony and that river view. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances, ready to use as it stands. Both bedrooms are genuine doubles, the principal served by its own en suite shower room, with a separate family bathroom alongside. Décor throughout is neutral and the apartment is ready to move into, with scope for a new owner to refresh finishes to their own taste in time.

Outside, the balcony is the standout, a private spot to sit above the Cam. The apartment comes with an allocated parking space, and the development offers communal lifts and secure bike stores set within well-kept grounds. Offered with no onward chain, it suits professionals, downsizers and investors alike.

Location - Cambridge

Cambridge is a stunning city, famous for its prestigious university and set on the River Cam, with fast commuter links to London and far-reaching parts of the UK by train and road. The University of Cambridge was founded in 1209 and includes the iconic King’s College Chapel, the Cavendish Laboratory and the University Library. The city sits at the heart of the high-technology Silicon Fen, home to a large cluster of software, electronics and biotechnology businesses.

Cambridge enjoys a wealth of culture and amenities, including a market trading since the Middle Ages and renowned museums such as the Fitzwilliam, home to everything from Egyptian antiquities to Renaissance sculptures. The city has more green space per acre than almost any other in the UK, with Jesus Green, Midsummer Common and Parker’s Piece hosting events including Midsummer Fair, Strawberry Fair and the Cambridge Beer Festival. Shopping runs from The Grand Arcade to the Grafton Centre, and there is first-class state and independent schooling at every level.
