Lynfield Court

Features

Description

16 Lynfield Court is a spacious and bright two-bedroom apartment situated on the first floor of a well-maintained development close to the River Cam in Chesterton, with a secure entry phone system serving the communal entrance hall and stairs. There is no onward chain.

Set on the edge of the development and enjoying a particularly quiet aspect over a no-through road, the apartment feels noticeably removed from the busier parts of the estate, with a more peaceful outlook than many neighbouring flats.

The entrance hall has laminate flooring, a double glazed window to the front, and a glazed door opening onto a small Juliet balcony, along with a cupboard housing the gas boiler (recently replaced) and useful storage, plus another large storage cupboard.

The sociable open-plan kitchen, living and dining area is a real highlight, generously proportioned and full of light thanks to its dual aspect, finished in laminate and tiled flooring, with French doors leading onto a private balcony. The glass balustrade allows extra light to flood in, and set amongst mature trees, the balcony is perfect for relaxing and entertaining.

The elegant and modern fitted kitchen is larger than others on the development, with a mix of grey and dark brown units, a one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink beneath the rear window, and an integrated double fridge freezer and washing machine. An electric oven, gas hob and extractor fan complete the kitchen, finished with inset spot lighting throughout.

The master bedroom is a notably generous double, filled with natural light from the Juliet balcony, and a door leads through to the bathroom. The second bedroom is also a good-sized double, with a rear-facing window. The bathroom has a bath with shower over and glass divider, a heated towel rail above the bath, a wall mounted sink and WC, finished with inset spot lighting and an extractor fan.

This stylish apartment offers a range of modern amenities, including gas-fired underfloor heating controlled by room-specific thermostats for comfort throughout the seasons. The building's security is enhanced with an entry phone system, and residents benefit from an allocated parking space, along with additional spaces for visitors. There is also secure bicycle storage with key code access.

Lynfield Court is very well located for local amenities, with a genuinely villagey feel to this part of Chesterton and away from through-traffic. The nearby church adds to the sense of a settled, established community, quite distinct from the newer development around it. Chesterton High Street is close at hand, with The Haymakers pub, local takeaways and convenience stores - including a Tesco Express - all within easy reach; the nearest post office is a short walk away on Chesterton Road. There are lovely riverside walks into the city along the Cam, with a quick and largely traffic-free cycle route in the same direction. The Equiano riverside bridge also provides easy access across the river to the wide selection of supermarkets and shopping along Newmarket Road. Both the city centre and the Cambridge Science and Business Parks can be reached on foot or by bike along predominantly traffic-free routes beside the River Cam. For those commuting by train, Cambridge North station is just over a mile away, with direct services to London King's Cross.
