Radcliffe & Rust Estate Agents are delighted to offer, to let, this one-bedroom top floor flat situated in the modern Malden Close building. Offering bright and well-presented accommodation, the property benefits from a characterful top floor position with some areas of restricted head height, adding to its charm. Ideally located just over 2 miles from Cambridge City Centre, the property enjoys excellent access to a wide range of local amenities. A selection of convenience stores, supermarkets including Aldi (approximately 0.6 miles away), cafés and everyday shopping facilities can be found along nearby Newmarket Road, while Cambridge Retail Park is around 1 mile away, offering a variety of larger retailers and restaurants. Cambridge Railway Station is approximately 1.6 miles away, providing direct services to London and beyond, while regular bus routes and excellent cycle links make commuting around the city straightforward. The property is also well positioned for access to Anglia Ruskin University, Addenbrooke's Hospital (approximately 3 miles), and the A14 and M11, making it an ideal home for professionals seeking convenience with easy access to both the city centre and major transport links.

The property is accessed via a secure communal entrance with an intercom entry system. Stairs rise to the top floor where the apartment's front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall. Decorated in soft neutral tones with crisp white woodwork, the hallway provides access to all principal rooms whilst also benefiting from a useful built-in storage cupboard, ideal for coats, shoes and household items.

The heart of the home is the impressive open plan living and dining room, a wonderfully bright and spacious reception space enhanced by windows to two aspects, allowing natural light to flood throughout the room. Attractive wide-plank wood-effect flooring flows underfoot, perfectly complementing the warm cream walls and creating a contemporary yet inviting feel. Characterful vaulted ceilings with sloping rooflines add individuality to the room, whilst recessed spotlights provide a modern finish. Due to its top floor position there is restricted head height beneath the sloping ceilings in parts; however, the room has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the usable floor space, creating clearly defined areas for both relaxing and dining.

Leading seamlessly from the living space is the separate kitchen. Finished in a stylish combination of high-gloss cream wall and base units with polished granite-effect worktops and matching upstands, the kitchen offers a sleek and contemporary appearance. Natural stone-effect tiled flooring provides both practicality and warmth, whilst a window overlooking the surrounding area allows further natural light into the space. Integrated appliances include a four-ring gas hob with stainless steel extractor canopy above, electric oven, washing machine and fridge freezer, with ample cupboard storage completing this well-appointed kitchen.

Returning to the hallway, the bedroom is a generously proportioned double room enjoying a peaceful position within the apartment. The room continues the neutral décor found throughout the property, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere ready for a tenant to personalise. A large window provides excellent natural light, whilst the unusual roofline adds character without compromising the generous floor space available for bedroom furniture. As with the living accommodation, there are areas of restricted head height beneath the sloping ceilings, typical of this attractive top floor apartment.

The shower room has been finished to an excellent standard with elegant natural stone-effect tiling extending across both the walls and floor, creating a luxurious hotel-style feel. The contemporary white suite comprises a large walk-in shower enclosure with glazed sliding doors and chrome rainfall-style shower, a pedestal wash hand basin with an illuminated mirrored cabinet above, and a low-level WC. A chrome heated towel rail completes the room, adding both practicality and a modern finishing touch.

Externally, the development benefits from secure communal bicycle storage, whilst the attractive modern apartment building is well maintained and occupies a convenient position within this sought-after part of Cambridge. An allocated off-road parking space is also available by separate negotiation for an additional £100 per calendar month, providing a valuable option for tenants requiring private parking.

Overall, this beautifully presented apartment combines contemporary finishes with characterful top floor accommodation. The generous proportions, stylish interior and abundance of natural light make it an ideal home for a Single occupant preferred or couple seeking modern city living, with the charm of vaulted ceilings and the character of a top floor apartment, whilst noting that there is restricted head height in some areas due to the sloping roofline.
