Drayton Road sits in the Cherry Hinton area of south Cambridge, a well-connected and well-served part of the city that offers straightforward access to Addenbrooke's Hospital, the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, the city centre and the railway station, all within comfortable cycling or driving distance. This modern two bedroom detached house has been fitted out to a notably high standard throughout, with a specification that goes well beyond what most rental properties at this size deliver, and neutral décor that provides a clean, contemporary canvas throughout.

The ground floor makes an immediate impression. Hard flooring runs throughout and underfloor heating provides an even, comfortable warmth that radiator heating simply cannot replicate, the kind of detail that makes a house feel genuinely well built rather than just well presented. The open plan sitting, dining and kitchen space is the heart of the home; a well-considered and sociable layout that flows comfortably between cooking, dining and relaxing without any of those functions feeling compromised, and bi-fold doors open the full width of the rear wall onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection that makes the most of the warmer months. The kitchen is fitted with white high gloss handleless units and a full complement of integrated appliances including a stainless steel double oven, induction hob, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. A specification that rewards anyone who actually enjoys cooking and makes the everyday running of the home entirely straightforward. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor picture.

A staircase with glass balustrade rises to the first floor, a detail that adds a clean, contemporary touch that suits the overall aesthetic of the property well. Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles with built-in wardrobes providing well-organised storage, and the shower room with its double width enclosure is a well-specified and practical facility that serves the first floor comfortably. A resin driveway to the front provides parking for one vehicle, and the enclosed low maintenance rear garden with artificial grass provides a private outdoor space that requires very little upkeep, ideal for those who want somewhere to sit outside without the commitment of a lawn to maintain.

For a professional couple or two sharers, this property delivers a quality of home environment and specification that the Cambridge rental market at this size rarely provides. Cherry Hinton Hall Park is within easy reach, providing green space and outdoor leisure including the popular Cambridge Folk Festival each summer, and Cherry Hinton Road provides a good range of local amenities including a Co-op, pharmacy, cafés and everyday services. Addenbrooke's Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus are easily accessible for those working in that part of the city, and Cambridge Railway Station, with direct services to London King's Cross at around fifty minutes, is within comfortable cycling distance. The city centre, Mill Road and the full range of Cambridge's independent restaurants, shops and cultural institutions are all well within reach by bike.
