A bright, smartly presented first floor apartment, set in arguably one of the best positions in this peaceful and hugely convenient over-55s development located close to the heart of Trumpington. Offered with no onward chain, the property enjoys a west-facing balcony overlooking mature grounds.
Salisbury Place is nicely tucked-away within walking distance of the village centre and adjoins the local primary school. It is brilliantly located, close enough to the city to be convenient but far enough out to be peaceful.
The development is specifically for those over 55 years old and who work 16 hours or fewer a week. There is a part-time on-site warden paid for as part of the service charge which is currently about £228.57 per month. This also includes maintenance of the leafy communal lawns that surround the development.
The flat is in one of the best locations on the development, and is on the first floor facing the communal gardens to the front and the gardens of the Cambridge Professional Development Centre at the back. It has a sitting room that opens onto a west-facing balcony, a kitchen/breakfast room, a double bedroom, and a bathroom. There is good storage space including a generous cupboard on the communal landing balcony and there is gas-fired central heating to radiators and double glazed windows, making it efficient to run.
The development is beautifully maintained with the communal areas being well lit after dark, giving a real sense of security and there are residents parking spaces and space for visitors around the site and on neighbouring Monkswell.
The lease has around 62 years left to run and there is a ground rent of just £25 per year.
Service charges are reviewed annually in line with inflation.
Owners need to be aware that 1% of the sale price of the property is payable to the housing association on the re-sale of the property.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some apartments in the area are shared ownership. This one is not, the price is for 100% of the leasehold.
Trumpington is a thriving, fast growing part of the city that still 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, bicycle on one of several purpose-built cycle routes, or even an enthusiastic walk. The city's mainline station can be easily reached along the guided busway cycleway without having to mix with car traffic at all.
The area has three primary schools and a brand new state-of-the-art secondary school that opened in 2016 bringing with it excellent sporting facilities including a private members' gym.
There are also various restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, hairdresser, chemist, Waitrose supermarket and two new country parks.
