Description

A substantial modern link-detached townhouse forming part of a recently built scheme completed in 2022, positioned on a quiet residential lane just to the north of Cambridge city centre. Arranged over three floors and extending to approximately 1,670 sq ft, the house combines well-balanced family accommodation with clean contemporary design, generous natural light and practical day-to-day functionality. The pale brick elevations and understated architectural detailing give the property a calm, cohesive appearance that sits comfortably within the surrounding development. Conveniently positioned for day-to-day amenities, local shops are within an approximate 8-minute walk, while the city centre can be reached on foot in around 25 minutes.

The ground floor is centred around a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living space extending to over 30 ft in length, creating a sociable and highly usable main living area. Full-width glazed doors draw natural light deep into the room and provide direct access to the garden, while the kitchen itself is fitted with extensive cabinetry, integrated appliances, a substantial island unit and a built-in wine fridge. A separate utility room and plant room help keep the main living space uncluttered, and there is also a ground floor cloakroom. To the front of the house, a more formal sitting room with wood-burning stove provides useful separation from the main family area. Large windows and carefully considered glazing throughout the house contribute to an excellent quality of natural light across all three floors.

The upper floors offer four well-proportioned double bedrooms arranged across two levels, giving flexibility for families, guests or those working from home. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are all generous in scale. The top floor rooms enjoy vaulted ceilings and rooflights which further enhance the sense of light and volume, alongside a family bathroom finished in a restrained contemporary style. The fourth bedroom also benefits from a hardwood floor finish and useful eaves storage.

One of the standout features of the house is the substantial first-floor terrace, extending to over 30 ft in length. Accessed directly from the landing, it provides a genuinely usable outdoor space with ample room for seating, dining and entertaining, while its elevated position gives a greater sense of privacy than is often found in modern developments. The rear garden has also been landscaped for low maintenance with paved seating areas and enclosed boundaries.

The garage extends to approximately one and a half lengths and is currently arranged as a gym space, though equally suited to storage, cycling equipment or workshop use. It also benefits from an automatic garage door and an EV charging unit for electric vehicles. In addition to the garage, there is unrestricted on-street parking nearby. The property further benefits from underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, with radiator heating serving the upper two floors on a separate circuit.
Turville Place forms part of a modern residential setting with managed communal areas and private roadway maintenance, for which there is an annual management charge of approximately £515. The location gives straightforward access to the Science Park, Cambridge North station and the city centre, while also being well placed for walks along the river and access out towards the A14.

A well-considered modern link-detached house with unusually adaptable accommodation, suited to buyers looking for contemporary living space without compromising on practicality or long-term flexibility.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
