A rare opportunity to acquire a stylish and beautifully presented 5 bedroom townhouse with self-contained studio, situated in this premier south city location. <br/><br/>Cambridge City Centre 1 mile, Mainline Railway Station 0.5 of a mile, Addenbrooke's Hospital/Cambridge Biomedical Campus 1.8 miles, M11 (Junction 11) 2.5 miles, Stansted Airport 27 miles (distances are approximate)<br/><br/>Formerly known as the 'Accordia Sky', 5 Morland Terrace represents the most substantial and successful house layout within the award-winning Accordia development. This striking townhouse was constructed by Countryside Properties in 2007, where innovative architecture fuses brick, copper, glass, oak, and limestone to distinctive effect. The development, conceived with a focus on fostering a close-knit community and enriched by green open spaces, earned the prestigious 2008 RIBA Stirling Prize for architecture.<br/><br/>The current owners have thoughtfully remodelled the ground floor to create a seamless flow between living spaces, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. This transformation has significantly increased the sense of openness and allows natural light to flood through the home, complementing the deep glazed windows and contributing to the beautifully presented, light and airy interior throughout. The property also benefits from an abundance of built-in storage, thoughtfully integrated throughout to maximise space and maintain a clean, uncluttered aesthetic. <br/><br/>5 Morland Terrace enjoys a prime location just 1 mile from Cambridge city centre, within easy walking distance of the picturesque Coe Fen, riverside meadows leading to Newnham, and the renowned University Botanic Garden, which lies just across Brooklands Avenue. The property is ideally placed for both leisure and convenience, with a local supermarket in the Accordia development and a wide range of sports and fitness facilities nearby on Hills Road, including indoor and outdoor tennis courts and a gym.<br/><br/>For entertainment, Cambridge Leisure offers a vibrant mix of cafés, bars, a hotel, ten-pin bowling, and a multiplex cinema. Families will appreciate the proximity to some of Cambridge’s most prestigious schools, including St Faith's, The Leys, St Mary's, and The Stephen Perse Foundation, all within walking or cycling distance. There are also nursery schools on Chaucer Road and sixth form colleges on Hills Road and Long Road.<br/><br/>London commuters are exceptionally well served, with Cambridge Railway Station just half a mile away, a pleasant 10–13 minute walk, offering fast services to King’s Cross (approx. 52 mins) and Liverpool Street (approx. 68 mins). Road connections are equally convenient, with the M11 (Junction 11) just 2.5 miles away, providing swift access to Stansted Airport and the M25.
