" A bright, expansive 882 sqft apartment with a large garage. Very well positioned in a highly desirable, mature development off Long Road.

The highly sought-after apartments at Gilmerton Court were built in the 1960s around a handsome quadrant and were designed by renowned Cambridge architect and illustrator Peter Boston who was responsible for some of the significant Modern College buildings of the time.

Number 34 is very well positioned on the south side of the quad, away from passing road traffic and looking out to leafy Gazeley Lane.

The prominent architectural feature of the apartment is the broad, wall-to-wall windows that fill the generous rooms with light, without compromising privacy as some floor-to-ceiling windows can.

The double aspect main living room is over 9 m / 30 ft long and opens in to a separate fitted kitchen. Two of the bedrooms are doubles and have built-in wardrobes and the third is a single. The bathroom is a good size.

The apartment is UPVC double glazed and, unlike many in the development, has gas fired central heating to radiators.

There is a very good size garage, larger than others on the development and with a useful additional storage room at the rear, plus a separate private lockable bicycle store

The property is sold with a share of the freehold and the remainder of a 999 year lease, there is no ground rent. The service charge for 2015 was about ?1200, for 2016 and the following 2 years it is expected to be ?1980, a temporary increase to cover a number of improvement works including refurbishing the communal stairways, a new bicycle shed and recycle store and some general landscaping.

It is for sale with no onward chain. Gilmerton Court stands at the corner of Long Road and Trumpington Road within half a mile of Trumpington's excellent facilities and with easy access into the City.

Trumpington is a thriving part of the City that manages to retain its village identity and sense of community. It is exceptionally well located for access into the Addenbrooke's campus, out to the M11 and into the City by car, bus, guided bus and cycleways.

There are restaurants, pubs, a pharmacy, surgery, post office, Waitrose supermarket and two new country parks nearby. There are both state and private schools within walking distance. "
