Occupying an enviable position on the south bank of the River Cam, this well-proportioned three-storey maisonette enjoys direct river views, two balconies and a highly convenient location just under a mile from Cambridge city centre. Extending to almost 790 sq ft, the property offers a combination of generous living space, practical accommodation and a setting that will particularly appeal to professionals, downsizers or buyers seeking easy access to both the city and Cambridge's green open spaces. <br/> <br/>Arranged over the upper floors, the accommodation is centred around a spacious sitting and dining room extending to over 21 feet in length. Large glazed doors draw in natural light and open directly onto a balcony overlooking the river, creating an attractive connection between the living space and its surroundings. The room comfortably accommodates both seating and dining areas and enjoys a pleasant outlook across the Cam and surrounding greenery. The separate kitchen is fitted with contemporary units and integrated appliances, providing a practical and efficient workspace. <br/> <br/>On the floor above are two comfortable double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from an en-suite and its own private balcony with elevated views towards the river and Stourbridge Common beyond. The second bedroom provides flexible accommodation for guests, home working or shared occupation. The second bathroom has been updated with a modern white suite incorporating both a bath and separate shower enclosure, finished with contemporary tiling. From the landing, a staircase rises to a large loft space, offering valuable additional storage and, subject to the necessary consents, the potential for conversion into further living accommodation; notably, previous planning permission for such a conversion was granted but has since lapsed. <br/> <br/>Outside, the property benefits from an allocated parking space together with further residents' parking available on a first-come, first-served basis. An external store provides practical storage for bicycles and household items. <br/> <br/>The property has a share of the freehold interest and there are approximately 954 years remaining on the lease with a service charge of approximately £1,315 per annum. <br/> <br/>Riverside is situated on the south bank of the River Cam, less than a mile from Cambridge city centre, renowned for its blend of historic architecture and contemporary developments, charming winding streets, excellent schools and extensive shopping and leisure facilities. <br/> <br/>This established riverside neighbourhood offers a relaxed lifestyle, combining attractive waterside walks, green open spaces and scenic views with convenient access to Cambridge’s key employment centres and amenities. Residents benefit from a variety of local shops and everyday services, while Cambridge North railway station is within easy reach, providing direct connections to London King’s Cross and destinations beyond. The Cambridge Science Park, Cambridge Business Park, St John’s Innovation Centre and the city’s thriving technology and research sectors are all readily accessible, making the area particularly appealing to professionals seeking a convenient commute. <br/> <br/>A wide range of local amenities can be found nearby, including a Tesco Superstore, fitness facilities and two out of town retail parks nearby. <br/> <br/>Schooling is well catered for, with St Matthew’s Primary School serving younger pupils and Parkside Community College providing secondary education, having achieved an Outstanding rating from Ofsted.
